Skye Nicolson defends WBC super bantamweight title against Miyo Yoshida

WBC super bantamweight champion Skye Nicolson is set to defend her title against Japanese challenger Miyo Yoshida on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

The bout presents a clash of styles, pitting Nicolson’s technical precision and footwork against Yoshida’s high-pressure approach. A victory for Nicolson would consolidate her position at the top of the 122-pound division, while Yoshida seeks to reclaim championship status.

Looking beyond this defense, Nicolson has expressed interest in major fights in Australia during 2027. Her potential future targets include a rematch with Tiara Brown, a bout with Ellie Scotney, or pursuing unification fights against Amanda Serrano and Dina Thorslund. Nicolson is currently supported by a long-term alliance between Matchroom and Most Valuable Promotions.
