Matchroom Boxing announced that, in the wake of Ellie Scotney’s decision to vacate the WBC 122-pound title, interim title holder Skye Nicolson (16-1) of Australia has been elevated to full WBC champion. Matchroom added that terms have been reached for Nicolson to face former two-weight champion Miyo Yoshida (19-5) next, with fight date and details to be announced in the coming weeks. Nicolson previously held the WBC 126-pound title but lost it to Tiara Brown last year. Yoshida was a champion at 115 and 118 pounds, with her last title reign ending with a 2024 loss to Shuretta Metcalf.
