PhilBoxing.com




A confident Skye Nicolson says she can stop rival Mariah Turner in their WBC Interim Super Bantamweight Title showdown this Wednesday night in Melbourne, Australia - live on Kayo SPORTS, Fox Sports Australia and DAZN worldwide.

In her first time as a headliner, the Aussie Super Bantamweight is ready to put on a statement performance in front of a home crowd at the Melbourne Pavilion.

Skye Nicolson says she can stop Mariah Turner in a showdown Wednesday night in Melbourne, Australia - live on KO Sports, Fox Sports Australia and DAZN.

Skye Nicolson:

“A star is going to be born on Wednesday night. You’re going to see a new Skye Nicolson. I’m ready to show everything I’ve been working on, I can box, I can fight, I can do it all. I feel privileged to be headlining a card full of Australian talent.

I know I’m in for a hard fight, this her [Turner’s] golden ticket but I’m ready. I believe I can stop Mariah Turner, but it will be a clear victory either way.


Mariah Turner:

I’m grateful for this opportunity to face Skye. I was born to be here. We’ve prepared for anything and everything to make sure I put on the best performance. This opportunity is life changing. To beat Skye Nicolson would be the ultimate achievement for me and we aim to do that Wednesday night.”

Teremoana Teremoana:

“I wouldn’t want to fight my old man and he’s in his forties. The power is always there. I’m looking forward to sharing the ring with such an experienced opponent. I feel like I’m really challenging myself. Judging by my track record, it’s going to be a KO.”

Jake Wyllie:

“I’m an ultimate professional and I’m looking forward to coming back down to lightweight, I’m ready to make a lot of noise down here. We’re both coming in wanting to win and I have full faith me and my team will get the job done Wednesday night.”
