Skye Nicolson is Australia’s latest world champion after dramatic turnaround
Nicolson was hoping to face undisputed champion Amanda Serrano after her recent victory.
But Serrano vacated her belt in a dispute for equality in women’s boxing.
‘I am the first undisputed champion to fight 12×3 minute rounds. In the future, if a sanctioning body does not want to give me and my fellow fighters the option to fight equally as men, then I will not fight for that sanctioning body.
‘The WBC has refused to evolve sport towards equality. So I renounce your title.
‘Thanks to the sanctioning bodies that have evolved for Equality!’
In an apparent message to Nicolson, he added: “If you want to face me in the ring, you have a choice.” I have made mine.
