Two-division world champion Skye Nicolson has signed with Most Valuable Promotions.
The 30-year-old Australian will defend her WBC super-bantamweight title against Japan's Miyo Yoshida in her MVP debut on the Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron undercard in Birmingham on August 29, live on Sky Sports.
Nicolson, an Olympian who won Commonwealth Games gold in 2018, is the latest high-profile female boxer to join YouTuber Jake Paul's promotional organisation.
"Women's boxing is entering a new era, and I want to be right at the centre of it," said Nicolson.
"My goal has always been to test myself against the very best and be involved in the biggest fights in women's boxing.
"I truly believe this move puts me in the best possible position to do exactly that. I'm excited for what's ahead and can't wait for this next chapter of my career to unfold."
Nicolson (16-1, 3 KOs) faces three-time, two-division world champion Yoshida (19-5, 1 KO), searching for a fifth successive victory as she takes another step towards unifying the super-bantamweight division.
"Skye is one of the most recognisable athletes in women's boxing today," Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, said.
"As a two-division world champion, Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Olympian and one of Australia's biggest stars, she represents the calibre of athlete we're building MVP around."
The August 29 show at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham will also see Britain's Caroline Dubois defend her WBC and WBO lightweight titles against Amelia Moore on a card made up entirely of bouts between UK and USA female fighters.
