Fighter Profiles

Nicolson returns to the ring for the first time since her TKO loss to Tiara Brown in March 2024, which ended her unbeaten run and cost her the WBC featherweight title. Now campaigning at super-bantamweight, she’s looking to rebuild momentum and position herself for another world title shot. Known for her slick movement, technical precision, and Olympic pedigree, Nicolson is one of Australia’s most decorated female fighters.

Campos Gonzales is a powerful Bolivian puncher with an impressive 89% knockout ratio. She enters the fight on a three-fight KO streak, but her recent opponents had a combined record of 0–5, raising questions about the quality of her competition. This will be her first fight outside South America and her first against a world-level opponent.
