Skye Nicolson is set to defend her WBC World Featherweight title for the third time on February 22nd as part of the undercard for George Kambosos Jr. vs. Jake Willey at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park., while Tiara Brown is chasing her first-ever world championship. On paper, Brown seems to have the edge—she’s been a pro for nine years, compared to Nicolson’s two. But interestingly, the betting odds are heavily in favor of the 29-year-old Aussie.

With six other fights on the card, this is the only world title bout, making it a major highlight of the night. So, who takes it? Will the older, more experienced knockout artist Brown prove too much to handle? Or will Nicolson, who’s already reached world champion status in just a couple of years, continue her reign? A deeper breakdown of the fight might just reveal the answer!

Predicting Skye Nicolson vs. Tiara Brown: Who has better stats and record?

At 36, Tiara Nichelle Brown isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. In fact, her record on BoxRec has an oddly satisfying pattern—every two or three fights, she makes sure at least one ends in a KO or TKO. That kind of consistency has been her trademark since 2016.

Looking at her recent activity, The Dark Menace has been selective but steady, taking only two fights per year over the past three years. Just last month, she secured a unanimous decision victory against Calista Silgado, and now, after only a short break, she’s already back in the ring. If she sticks to the same winning formula she’s been following, it’s easy to see why many would bet on her to take the W this time. But, of course, past trends don’t always guarantee future results.

The only time she broke her usual pattern was in 2021 when she fought just once. The Florida native now boasts an impressive 18-0, record with 11 KOs. The stats suggest that Brown holds a huge power advantage over Nicolson, with a knockout rate of 61% compared to Nicolson’s mere 8%. But power isn’t everything in boxing.

Skye Nicolson’s last five fights have taken place over a span of 1 year, 6 months, and 7 days—meaning she’s been stepping into the ring roughly every 3 months and 20 days. Across those bouts, she’s gone a total of 103 rounds, averaging nearly 10 rounds per fight.

Nicolson comes in with a spotless 12-0 record, though only one of those wins has come by knockout. Just last year, she handed Raven Chapman her first career loss. Before that, she defeated Sarah Mahfoud in 2024, making her only the second fighter to do so after Amanda Serrano. She also gave Lucy Wildheart her first-ever loss. There’s no doubt she’s racking up an impressive resume and has secured title fights in record time since turning pro. But when it comes to raw power, she may not hit as hard as Tiara Brown.

While Nicolson has been dominating with unanimous decisions, it’s hard to confidently pick her over Brown, who brings serious power to the table. Brown’s last fight (Kevin Morgan scoring it 80-72, Paul Wallace with 80-72, and Steve Weisfeld giving it 80-72) showed that age hasn’t slowed her down one bit. If she keeps moving well and stays aggressive, Nicolson might struggle to do real damage. With Brown’s superior power and experience, she could very well take this one on the scorecards.

Nicolson vs. Brown height, weight, reach comparison, and more

While Tiara Brown holds the edge in experience and skill, physical attributes can sometimes be the game-changer. Starting with height, the American has a clear advantage. She stands at 5’7″ (170 cm), a full two inches taller than Nicolson, who measures 5’5″ (166 cm).

However, Nicolson has youth on her side. At 29, she’s seven years younger than the 36-year-old Brown. She may be the less experienced fighter, having had six fewer fights, but she’s actually logged more time in the ring—103 professional rounds compared to Brown’s 86. That extra ring time could work in her favor. She has also faced a better caliber of opponents than Tiara Brown, which could be all she needs.

As for weight, Nicolson also has a slight edge, coming in at 126 lbs, two pounds heavier than Brown, who weighs 124½ lbs. It’s a small difference, but in a fight where every detail matters, it could play a role.

If Tiara Brown can land big shots and impose her strength, she’ll likely win. If Skye Nicolson can avoid those punches and keep the fight at her pace, she might take it on points. Brown by KO/TKO seems more likely, but Nicolson by decision is also very possible. It all depends on how the fight plays out. So who do you think will win the March 22nd fight?
