Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.<\/a><\/p>\nNicolson DOMINATES Turner | 01:16<\/p>\n
Hearn, meanwhile, was also asked about Nicolson defending WBC interim gold in a shut out against a game Mariah Turner.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great performance,\u201d he said of the Queensland star.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously Skye is a great boxer so sometimes she wins fights comfortably by doing just that.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut tonight, main event, you\u2019ve got to entertain and she did that. She hurt Mariah Turner, who by the way was extremely tough.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Skye is pound for pound in women\u2019s boxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd after that great comeback from the Tiara Brown loss, she\u2019s rebuilt really well, dropped to 122 pounds \u2026 it\u2019s time now for the megafights.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe deserves them.\u201d<\/p>\n
So as for landing Scotney, who has already spoken of moving up to face Amanda Serrano?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really up to Ellie Scotney,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just so happens she has every belt. She\u2019s a fantastic fighter.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut she wants big fights, MVP wants big fights and that\u2019s one of the biggest fights in women\u2019s boxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also know Ellie is looking to move to 126 [pounds]. Has been looking to do it for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut hopefully she hangs around for one more big fight down there.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if not, Skye will look to become champion and look to unify the division.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut time now to really test herself against the best in the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about taking on Scotney next, Nicolson said afterwards: \u201cI want the big fights, I want superfights, I want to be headlining.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m ready for those opportunities and that\u2019s where you are going to see the best version of me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI shine in high pressure situations.<\/p>\n
Nicolson v Turner: Full Fight Highlights | 04:42<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom what I\u2019m hearing she [Scotney] is quite adamant about moving up but money talks. And the fight can be made.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the biggest fight in women\u2019s boxing at 122 pounds. And the biggest fight for Ellie Scotney.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf she does move up I\u2019ll collect the belts one by one.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t want to be fighting for vacant belts. I want to be dethroning champions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Hearn also confirmed he had signed exciting Australian lightweight prospect Jesse Bolt \u2013 aka \u2018Tip Rat\u2019 \u2013 following his huge KO win against Faavesi Isaako to open the Matchroom broadcast.<\/p>\n
Asked about the card generally, the UK promoter said: \u201cI thought it was absolutely mental.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything so wild.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first fight comes out, knockout of the year. Then second fight, Andrew Hunt against Ben Hussain, for me, was one of the best fights I\u2019ve seen this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnbelievable. I\u2019d love to run that fight back.<\/p>\n
\u201cCould\u2019ve gone either way. Then the Jake Wyllie second round was one of the more bizarre things I\u2019ve ever seen. Wild.\u201d<\/p>\n
And as for Bolt specifically?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said to me tonight, \u2018one of the things I wrote down that I wanted to do when I turned pro was meet you\u2019,\u201d Hearn revealed. \u201cI said \u2018well, you\u2019ve just fought on my card and I\u2019m going to sign you\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was like \u2018whaaat?\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want exciting fights and he is so exciting. That first bell went and he came out like a lunatic.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a huge ticket seller and he can fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we want people who can fight. I look forward to bringing him to the Matchroom team.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hearn has unveiled his bold plan to bring American superstar Deontay Wilder Down Under, while also promising…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[11161,2095,309634,64,63,689,309641,75772,215997,309633,284106,309645,24916,203344,99438,284088,309636,309632,166409,294789,802,69240,958,7701,60999,9915,285759,2057,110098,39983,309647,309646,309635,21340,121065,30028,309640,309638,249529,309637,309639,647,179927,1736,2782,11876,2041,2067,3583,677,289570,255849,309644,28362,21342,3595,2020,85,309643,67271,309642,5942,3586,2614,660,112900,20679],"class_list":["post-639443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-amanda-serrano","tag-america","tag-andrew-hunt","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-broadcasting","tag-australian-fight-fans","tag-australian-heavyweight","tag-australian-heavyweight-champion","tag-australian-heavyweight-title","tag-australian-lightweight-prospect","tag-australian-star","tag-australian-title","tag-ben-hussain","tag-ben-sila","tag-bitter-man","tag-blockbuster-heavyweight-plans","tag-bold-plan","tag-bowie-tupou","tag-boxing","tag-city-of-liverpool","tag-dana-white","tag-daniel-dubois","tag-deontay-wilder","tag-eddie-hearn","tag-ellie-scotney","tag-europe","tag-fabio-wardley","tag-heavyweight-champion","tag-heavyweights-clash","tag-hyped-trilogy","tag-interim-gold","tag-jake-wyllie","tag-justis-huni","tag-lewis-crocker","tag-longtime-american-favourite","tag-lou-di-bella","tag-lou-dibella","tag-ms-bank-arena","tag-matchroom-sport-ltd","tag-melbourne","tag-money-talks","tag-new-zealand","tag-nick-walshaw","tag-nikita-tszyu","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-northern-europe","tag-oceania","tag-oscar-diaz","tag-pressure-situations","tag-question-mate","tag-rising-star","tag-skye-nicolson","tag-southern-europe","tag-spain","tag-sports","tag-superstar-name","tag-tiara-brown","tag-ticket-seller","tag-tim-tszyu","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-victoria","tag-welterweight-champ","tag-world-heavyweight-champion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639443","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=639443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/639444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
