On December 13, 2025, at the Adventist Health Arena in Stockton, California, women’s boxing will feature one of the most anticipated events of the year: Skye Nicolson will face Mexican fighter Yuliahn “La Cobrita” Luna Ávila for the WBC Interim World Female Super Bantamweight Title. The fight is part of the main card promoted by Matchroom, headlined by Diego Pacheco vs Kevin Lele Sadjo, and will be broadcast live on DAZN.
The WBC Interim Super Bantamweight title is not the full world championship, but it represents a strategic milestone: the winner will gain ranking points in the WBC, increasing the chances of future opportunities for full world title fights. For Nicolson, a victory would consolidate her transition into the 122-pound division and relaunch her career after the loss in featherweight; for Luna, it is an opportunity to return to the global spotlight.
