Skye Nicolson Doubts Amanda Serrano Fight Ever Happens

Skye Nicolson doesn’t think she will ever box Amanda Serrano despite her interest in it.

Nicolson has called out Serrano for quite some time but the undefeated boxer doesn’t think Serrano has any interest in ever boxing her.

“She just refuses to entertain the idea of a fight with me,” Nicolson said to Boxing Social. “You see her face change when my name gets brought up in media interviews. It doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence that that fight will ever happen. But I never say never, so I don’t want to say the fight will never happen, but obviously I don’t see her and her team ever showing any interest in that fight.”

Serrano is scheduled to rematch Katie Taylor in November in a highly-anticipated bout. After that, what the future holds for Serrano is uncertain, but Nicolson believes the longer it goes on, the less big the fight gets.

“I just feel like the longer it goes on, the less rewarding it is for me,” Nicolson said. “At the end of the day, I want to dethrone champions. I want to prove I’m the best by beating the best. The later that fight happens, if it happens, the more the response will be, ‘Oh, she didn’t fight her in her prime. She was done. She was old. She was this, she was that.’ It’s like, ‘Well, I’ve got the receipts and I’ve been calling her out for two years.’ While it is frustrating, we move on…

“Someone who’s obviously done so much for the sport, has been a trailblazer, has so many records and being a seven-division world champion and the rest of it, and holds belts in my weight division — of course, naturally, that’s the fight I want to chase. But they have made it quite clear that it’s of no interest to them. That’s fine. I will have to stamp my legacy in any other way I can, beating everyone who’s put in front of me and winning as many belts as I can, with or without the Serrano fight.”

Skye Nicolson is 11-0 as a pro and coming off a decision win over Dayna Vargas to defend her WBC featherweight title after she beat Sarah Mahfoud to win the vacant title.
