Her growth led her to capture the WBC interim featherweight title, the first Green and Gold Belt of her career.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolson became the WBC featherweight world champion in 2024 after defeating Sarah Mahfoud by unanimous decision. Her reign included three title defenses in a single year.<\/p>\n<p>She has maintained strong momentum, establishing a consistent and technical boxing style that positioned her as the mandatory challenger for the interim super bantamweight title. For Nicolson, this fight represents a gateway to an eventual shot at the WBC absolute super bantamweight world title.<\/p>\n<p>Yulihan Luna.<\/p>\n<p>Luna \u00c1vila is a tough, resilient fighter with a proven track record at the elite level of women\u2019s boxing. Her name gained global prominence in 2020 when she won the WBC bantamweight world title by defeating Mariana Ju\u00e1rez via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>She defended her title and established herself as one of Mexico\u2019s most disciplined fighters, combining high punch output with physical strength and a relentless pace that wears opponents down.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, she vacated her title to move up to super bantamweight, where she quickly positioned herself among the top contenders in the division. Her championship experience and aggressive style make her a real threat to Nicolson\u2019s ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>This Saturday, both fighters will seek a victory that will change the trajectory of their careers and open the door to the WBC absolute world championship.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_172143\" class=\"pvc_stats all  pvc_load_by_ajax_update\" data-element-id=\"172143\" style=\"\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skye Nicolson and Yulihan Luna on orbit for meteorite moonscape\u00a0 Skye Nicolson and Yulihan Luna \u00c1vila will face&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-341398","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
