Skye Nicolson takes on Carla Camila Campos Gonzales as we preview the upcoming fight.

Nicolson is looking to bounce back after her first professional loss against Tiara Brown, which meant she lost her WBC Featherweight Title. Nicholson responded by stating that she wanted to move back down to super-bantamweight to get a title in a second division, as the Gonzales fight was made.
Gonzales’ record stands at 9-3, with 8 KOs to her name. She has won her last three fights, stopping all of her opponents, which was the perfect response to her loss against Linn Sandstrom. However, Nicholson is the biggest test of her career, as all eyes turn on who will come out victorious.

“I haven’t been getting fat and unfit. So that’s the thought process behind going to 122. “My last camp I was walking around 62kg [136 pounds] and since coming back from the Brown fight, I kept my body ticking over and healthy and now I’m walking around at 59kg [130 pounds] and I feel really good for it. I feel like I’m training at the weight I should’ve been all along.

“I’ve been told by numerous people throughout my first years as a pro that I should be boxing at 122 and I’ve just kind of laughed it off. It was almost me saying ‘Why would I go down a weight when I can win at this weight?’. That was probably an arrogant mindset, I was probably missing an opportunity, letting one slide. I should’ve started at super bantam and then gone up. There aren’t many world champions who go down a division. Look out, super bantam division,” Nicholson said
