The Queensland-based southpaw has perennially called out her biggest rivals including Amanda Serrano and Ellie Scotney \u2014 both of whom are represented by Paul\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions.<\/p>\n
In response, MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian has taken aim at Nicolson for not fighting Scotney and her supposed struggle to sell tickets.<\/p>\n
Now the Aussie fighter, promoted by Matchroom Boxing, has hit back at Paul, Bidarian and MVP, and called on them to work together to make the biggest fights.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Fox Sports Australia<\/a>, Nicolson said: \u201cThey (MVP) need me. They don\u2019t want to admit it, but they need me. I\u2019m one of the biggest names in female boxing in the world.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd as much as they hate that, it is what it is.<\/p>\n \u201cSo line them up. I\u2019ll beat them all and be cashing cheques. That\u2019s what is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Nicolson previously accused Serrano of ducking her when the Puerto Rican fighter vacated her WBC belt instead of boxing her.<\/p>\n A similar situation could arise again if Nicolson wins on Wednesday \u2014 a victory that would see her become mandatory for Scotney\u2019s bantamweight strap.<\/p>\n But Nicolson, who admits she \u201chasn\u2019t had the nicest friendship\u201d with Bidarian, insists she will continue to put the pressure on Paul\u2019s promotion to finally put one of their fighters in with her.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI won\u2019t be denied. I\u2019m going to keep knocking on the door. Keep calling them out. And I\u2019m going to keep on winning.<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as I\u2019m aware too, Matchroom and MVP are on good terms and talking together about making big fights. So I assume that includes me.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel sometimes like [MVP] wants to make the fights work with everyone but me. But we\u2019re not going to make it personal. And if they want to use Matchroom\u2019s other champions like Katie Taylor, Elif Nur Turhan, and Sandy Ryan, there will have to be some give and take.<\/p>\n \u201cWhich could mean I fight Ellie Scotney, Tiara Brown, Amanda Serrano… even all three. That would be nice.<\/p>\n \u201cSo while I do think MVP are trying to keep a lot of the belts in house, I think there will be opportunities there. Because I believe I\u2019m the best super bantamweight in the world, including Ellie Scotney. And I believe I beat most featherweights as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Read related topics:Brisbane<\/a>Melbourne<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian fighter Skye Nicolson has opened up about the \u201chate\u201d between her and controversial YouTuber and boxer Jake…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-633462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633462","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=633462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
