Two-division world champion Skye Nicolson has officially joined Most Valuable Promotions. The 30-year-old Australian is scheduled to make her MVP debut on August 29, where she will defend her WBC super-bantamweight title against Japan's Miyo Yoshida on the undercard of the highly anticipated Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron fight in Birmingham, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. As an Olympian and Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Nicolson is the latest prominent female boxer to join Jake Paul's promotional organisation.
"The women's boxing landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, and I am eager to be at the forefront of it," Nicolson stated. "Throughout my career, my primary objective has been to compete against the best in the sport and be involved in the most high-profile fights in women's boxing. I firmly believe that this move will position me to achieve my goals and I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead."
