Her parents, Mr. Allan Nicolson from Scotland and Mrs. Pat Nicolson from England, raised her on the Gold Coast.

Skye is of Australian nationality and White Caucasian ethnicity, with Scottish and English heritage. Her religion is not publicly known.

Tragically, her older brothers, Jamie and Gavin, died in a 1994 car crash before Skye was born. Jamie, a star amateur boxer, won bronze at the 1990 Commonwealth Games and competed at the 1992 Olympics.

Skye attended Our Lady’s College on the Gold Coast, where she was a proud student and made lifelong friends.

She graduated from high school, but no further details about higher education are publicly available. Her focus shifted to boxing early, training at her family’s gym.

Career

Skye Nicolson began boxing at 12, training at the Jamie Nicolson Memorial Gym. As an amateur, she won bronze at the 2016 World Championships and gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, beating Michaela Walsh in a split decision on the Gold Coast.

She competed at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, losing to Karriss Artingstall in the quarter-finals, just missing a medal.

Skye turned pro in March 2022, debuting with a unanimous decision win over Jessica Juarez in San Diego. She went 5-0 in her first year, boxing across the USA, Australia, Wales, and England.

In October 2022, she won the Commonwealth female featherweight title against Krystina Jacobs in Brisbane.

In February 2023, she claimed the WBC female Silver featherweight title against Tania Alvarez in New York.

Skye won the interim WBC featherweight title in September 2023 against Sabrina Perez in Mexico and defended it with a ninth-round TKO against Lucy Wildheart in Ireland.

On April 6, 2024, she won the full WBC featherweight title against Sarah Mahfoud in Las Vegas, defending it twice in 2024 against Dyana Vargas and Raven Chapman, the latter in Saudi Arabia’s first women’s world title fight. Skye’s only pro loss came in March 2025 to Tiara Brown by split decision in Sydney.

In July 2025, she dropped to super-bantamweight, stopping Carla Camila Campos Gonzales in Manchester, England.

With a 13-1-0 record, Skye aims to become the undisputed champion, honoring her Australian and family legacy.
