Bidarian told nine.com.au he was willing to work with Nicolson despite previous barbs<\/a> which then led to the moment he stood next to her as MVP\u2019s newest signing. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/d1c1b9f2391a6db152019df7b36e885c65591a8d.jpeg\")

The MVP boss has now given an insight into how it all came about. <\/p>\n
\u201cSkye Nicolson has done a tremendous job building her brand in the sport of boxing and I believe is one of the most marketable athletes in the sport,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe already have three Australians (Cherneka Johnson, Desley Robinson and Ebanie Bridges) on the roster … adding Skye was logical given Ellie Scotney has moved out of the 122 division and is now focused on the 126, that means the 122 division was open, and I think Skye has the opportunity to be the face of that division in a very dominant way, so we wanted to work with her. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a history back-and-forth with Skye and MVP and as I said last week, some people say there was beef, what I say is beef makes good business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the injury, Nicolson confirmed she will be heading to Orlando to support her fellow Australian world champions and other athletes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe positive news is that while I\u2019m recovering, I\u2019ll be heading to Orlando this weekend for the MVPW-05 event, where I\u2019m excited to support my fellow Australian world champions and many other incredible athletes,\u201d she wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cA new date for my fight with Yoshida will be locked in very soon, and I can\u2019t wait to get back in the gym, back to full health, and back doing what I love.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to everyone for your continued support and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
The August 30 card in Birmingham will continue despite Nicolson\u2019s absence, headlined by a blockbuster women\u2019s title bout between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian has confirmed the intention for Skye Nicolson to fight Miyo Yoshida at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":844810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-844809","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\/844809","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=844809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/844810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=844809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=844809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=844809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
