The Aussie fighter is one of the best female fighters in the world, alongside a plethora of boxers under the Most Valuable Promotions banner.<\/p>\n<p>However, when speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/shekicks.net\/skye-nicolson-exclusive-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">She Kicks<\/a>, Nicolson revealed one name above all the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Skye Nicolson reveals the female boxer she rates above all<\/p>\n<p>Skye Nicolson is successfully working her way towards a world title shot at super bantamweight after losing her featherweight title earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Female boxing is in a great place, with many involved in huge fights, such as Ellie Scotney, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Chantelle Cameron.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all these elite names, Nicolson names the best female boxer she\u2019s ever seen:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sparred with this one girl, she\u2019s actually just recently turned professional, Tiah-Mai Ayton (2-0, 2 KOs). She\u2019s just turned 19 years old, and she is probably the best female boxer I\u2019ve ever seen, Tiah-Mai Ayton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember the name, she\u2019s going to do big, big things in the sport, a very smart fighter, heavy handed, exciting, has that killer instinct, but can box as well, she\u2019s the full package. So seeing young girls like that, that have come through and just that level, the boxing IQ, it\u2019s incredible. So I\u2019m very excited for where women\u2019s boxing\u2019s headed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tiah-Mai Ayton Qualities<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bigfightweekend.com\/recaps\/pat-mccormack-vs-miguel-parra-results\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ayton<\/a> punches with venom and throws with incredible accuracy. During her fledgling professional journey, she has shown an impressive ability to finish her opponents when they are hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t rush her work and shows poise. She moves her feet in and out and punches with plenty of power. The journey of Ayton looks set to be an exciting one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skye Nicolson (14-1, 3 KOs) outclassed Sarah Mahfoud to win the WBC featherweight title in 2024, a belt&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-191795","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
