Skye Nicolson had an easy night's work, dominating London based Swede, Lucy Wildheart, and retaining her WBC interim featherweight title.

Chantelle Cameron and Katie Taylor were once again well under the divisional limit for their second showdown between undisputed champions. It was all business throughout fight week and during an intense staredown ahead of their anticipated rematch this Saturday on DAZN from 3Arena in Dublin. England’s Cameron was 139 ½ pounds in a bid to retain her fully unified junior welterweight crown. Taylor—the 37-year-old legendary figure from Bray—was 139.6 pounds in a bid to avenge her lone career defeat. Both fighters were 139.7 pounds ahead of their first meeting, which saw Cameron spoil Taylor's long overdue homecoming with majority decision win on May 20 at this very same venue.

Skye Nicolson knows to be at her best with a blockbuster on the horizon. The unbeaten featherweight is one of the mandatory challengers in waiting for Amanda Serrano, the record-setting seven-division titlist and the division’s reigning undisputed champion. Australia’s Nicolson holds the interim WBC

Skye Nicolson has landed a dream assignment while she awaits confirmation on a pursued career-defining fight. The unbeaten Aussie boxer is confirmed to make her first defense of the interim WBC featherweight title versus Lucy Wildheart. The bout will appear on the undercard of the November 25 Chantelle Cameron- Katie Taylor rematch at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Mikaela Mayer didn’t care who was standing in the opposite corner on fight night. All she cared about was that a fight night was still on her itinerary. The former unified junior lightweight champion made due with an undesirable situation as she pushed forward with her ESPN+/BT Sport co-feature. A spirited challenge was offered by Sweden’s Lucy Wildheart, a very late replacement opponent whom Mayer soundly outpointed over ten rounds this past Saturday at Copper Box Arena in Hackney Wick, London.

Mikaela Mayer (18-1, 5 KOs) feels ready to take over the lightweight division. The former unified junior lightweight champion made a successful debut at 135 pounds by defeating Swedish contender Lucy Wildheart (10-2, 4 KOs) via unanimous decision Saturday night at Copper Box Arena in London.

MIKAELA MAYER became the WBC interim lightweight champion by virtue of a lopsided points win over late replacement Lucy Wildheart in London.

Mikaela Mayer always intended to hit the ground running at lightweight. The 2012 U.S. Olympian and former unified 130-pound champ refused to settle for anything less than a tough challenge that would put her on a path to challenge for a second divisional title. It came after Mayer (18-1, 5KOs) abandoned her months-long pursuit of a rematch with Alycia Baumgardner, against whom she dropped a tightly contested, majority decision in their unification championship clash last October 15 in London.

Mikaela Mayer will face a different opponent than she was scheduled to box Saturday night in London. Christina Linardatou, the former IBF/WBO 130-pound champion’s original opponent, was not cleared for licensure Friday by the British Boxing Board of Control. BoxingScene.com has learned that the BBBofC wouldn’t approve Linardatou for a license based on the result of Linardatou’s pre-fight eye exam, which prevented her from weighing in for her 10-round fight against Mayer on the Joe Joyce-Zhang Zhilei undercard at Copper Box Arena.
