Mariah Turner is embracing the “lifetime opportunity” of Wednesday’s fight with Skye Nicolson.

The 31-year-old challenges her fellow Australian for her WBC interim junior-featherweight title at The Melbourne Pavilion in Melbourne, Australia, and is aware of the considerable boost it would give to her profile were she to win.

Nicolson, 30, is one of the world’s highest-profile female fighters and being lined up for a potential career-defining contest with England’s Ellie Scotney, the undisputed champion at 122lbs.
