Australian Skye Nicolson outpointed Denmark’s Sarah Mahfoud to claim the WBC featherweight title in Las Vegas.<\/b><\/p>\n

Nicolson, who is based in the UK, was a comfortable winner, the judges scoring the fight 100-90 100-90 99-91 in the 28-year-old’s favour.<\/p>\n

Nicolson, who now has 10 wins from 10 fights, then called out WBA, WBO and IBF champion Amanda Serrano.<\/p>\n

“I’m ready when she’s ready. I want the belts. It’s nothing personal Amanda, but I’m ready when you are,” she said.<\/p>\n

Serrano vacated the WBC featherweight title<\/a> in December after the sanctioning body refused to allow three-minute rounds for women fighters competing for their titles.<\/p>\n

Nicolson won the interim belt by beating Lucy Wildheart before fighting Mahfoud for the vacant belt over 10 two-minute rounds.<\/p>\n

“If the only way to fight Amanda Serrano is over 12 three-minute rounds then talk to my team and we’ll make it happen,” added Nicolson.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on the same card Great Britain’s Gal Yafai stopped Argentine Agustin Gauto in the eighth round of their flyweight bout.<\/p>\n

The win means Yafai, the 2020 Olympic champion, has won all of his seven professional fights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
