The 19-year-old protege had an incredible run in the amateur side of the sport where she won all of her fights and her transition to the professional code has been a smooth one so far with two stoppage wins from as many fights. 

Ayton is back in action on October 17 when she appears on the undercard of Kieron Conway vs George Liddard, and if her career continues to move as quickly as it currently is, there is no doubt that 2026 will see her competing for world titles. 

Skye Nicolson already knows what it feels like to perform regularly at the highest level as the Australian superstar has featured in several high-profile clashes.  

After losing her world crown to Tiara Brown earlier this year, Nicolson has rebounded well to win two successive fights as he prepares to become world champion for a second time following the Brown setback. 

Nicolson is a huge admirer of Ayton and after sparring many rounds with the Bristol fighter, she is convinced that she has a big future. 

Nicolson has shared the ring with many elite performers, both fighting and sparring, and she has reserved the most praise for Ayton by declaring her as the best. 

“She's just turned 19 years old, and she is probably the best female boxer I've ever seen, Tiah-Mai Ayton. Remember the name,” said Nicolson when speaking to She Kicks.  

“She's going to do big things in the sport, a very smart fighter, heavy handed, exciting, has that killer instinct but can box as well. She's the full package.”
