Skye Nicholson Withdraws From MVPW Debut Due To Injury
WBC bantamweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">super bantamweight champion Skye Nicholson has pulled out of her Most Valuable Promotions debut after suffering a training injury last week, according to Bad Left Hook.
Nicholson was scheduled to face Miyo Yoshida on the Aug. 29 MVPW-06 card in Birmingham, England. Tysie Gallagher will take her slot on the main card. The Australian said she expects the Yoshida fight to be rescheduled before year's end.
Nicholson's Statement On Training Injury
"I'm devastated to announce that, due to sustaining an injury in training last week, I have had to withdraw from my scheduled fight in Birmingham on Saturday, August 29," Nicholson said in a statement. "I'd like to sincerely apologize to Miyo Yoshida and her team for this delay."
The nature of the injury was not disclosed. Nicholson added that she will attend this weekend's MVPW-05 event in Orlando to support other Australian world champions on the card while she recovers.
Nicholson won a wide 10-round decision over Mariah Turner in April and carries a 16-1 record with three knockouts. She signed with MVP earlier this year as one of the promotion's marquee pickups in the women's ranks.
