Skye Nicolson said: “I’m devastated to announce that, due to sustaining an injury in training last week, I have had to withdraw from my scheduled fight in Birmingham on Saturday, August 29. I’d like to sincerely apologise to Miyo Yoshida and her team for this delay. I have nothing but respect for Miyo and I’m looking forward to finally sharing the ring with her before the end of the year. The positive news is that while I’m recovering, I’ll be heading to Orlando this weekend for the MVPW-05 event, where I’m excited to support my fellow Australian World Champions and many other incredible athletes. A new date for my fight with Yoshida will be locked in very soon, and I can’t wait to get back in the gym, back to full health, and back doing what I love. Thank you to everyone for your continued support and understanding.”

Nakisa Bidarian co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions said: “India’s biggest boxing star Neeraj Goyat is back against a tough young contender in Yessin Koulali, continuing to showcase MVPW-06 as a world-class showcase of the best talent from the UK, the USA, and around the world. Skye Nicolson has unfortunately been forced to postpone her MVP debut due to injury, and we wish her a full and speedy recovery. We look forward to welcoming her back to the ring soon. We’re excited to give Tysie Gallagher the opportunity to make her long-awaited MVP debut on the main card after establishing herself as one of the UK’s top super bantamweights and winning Commonwealth, BBBofC, and WBO International titles, joining one of the biggest women’s boxing cards of the year.”

Luton, Bedfordshire’s Tysie “The First Lady” Gallagher has established herself as one of the United Kingdom’s most accomplished female fighters. She began boxing at age 10 and had a decorated amateur career spanning 35 bouts, winning two national titles, twice reaching the ABA Senior Elite Championship finals, and represented England on the international stage. Since turning professional, Gallagher became the first-ever female British super bantamweight champion while also capturing the Commonwealth and WBO International titles at 122lbs. Now ranked the IBF’s #5 contender in the world, Gallagher has emerged as one of the leading contenders in the super bantamweight division. In November 2023, she challenged Segolene Lefebvre for the WBO world title in just her eighth pro fight. Gallagher most recently earned a unanimous decision win over challenger Ellie Hellewell in defense of her Commonwealth, BBBoC British, and WBO International titles in September 2025. She was initially scheduled to compete on MVP’s UK debut event, MVPW-01, in April 2026, but was forced to withdraw due to injury. Outside the ring, she is a proud mother to her seven-year-old daughter.

Tysie Gallagher said: “Saturday, August 29th is more than a comeback fight for me. It’s the start of a new era. After injury, surgery and months of hard work behind the scenes, I’m finally ready to return. Making my MVP debut is a massive moment in my career, and I believe this is where the next chapter begins. The comeback starts now, and the future starts here.”

Neeraj Goyat, born in Begampur, Karnal, Haryana, India, began his amateur boxing career in 2006 while attending the Army Sports Institute and quickly began his rise to the top, winning gold in 2008 in the Youth National Tournament. Goyat is a three-time WBC Asia title holder in 2015, 2016, and 2017, was named “Honorary Boxer of the Year” in 2017 by WBC Asia, and was the first Indian boxer ever to make the WBC World Rankings. Goyat was hurt in a car accident in 2019, which postponed a mega fight in the works against Amir Khan, but has since resumed fighting and continues his hunt for greatness. In spring 2024, he surged to the forefront of fighter attention worldwide via his viral social media campaign to fight MVP co-founder and international superstar Jake Paul, which culminated with Goyat traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico to face off with Paul in person, ultimately signing to MVP. Goyat’s callout and subsequent faceoff set off a seismic wave of engagement across social media, garnering well over 150M views on his social media alone. Goyat made his MVP debut on the main card of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson against Brazilian superstar Whindersson Nunes. He most recently returned to the ring in June 2026 to defeat Mark Urvanov by fifth round TKO. He trains under Kuldeep Keepa.

Neeraj Goyat said: “I’m proud to represent India on the global stage again with Most Valuable Promotions. This is another important step in my journey to show the world why Indian boxing belongs on the biggest stages. I hope fans across India and around the world tune in, because India’s most valuable boxer is back to deliver another exciting performance.”

Yessin Koulali is a 22 year old contender from Wiesbaden, Germany. Boasting a six-win streak, he made his pro debut in 2024 with a dominant points win. He most recently defeated Atilla Kayabasi by decision in May 2026. Following his career to date in Germany, he will look to prove himself in his international debut on Saturday, August 29 against Neeraj Goyat.

The preliminary card of MVPW-06 will also feature Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire’s Gemma Richardson (4-0, 1 KO) vs. Wolverhampton, West Midlands’ 2x European champion Kirstie Bavington (10-5-2, 2 KOs) in a 6-round super lightweight bout at 140lbs, Brandon Bethall (7-1, 1 KO) against a to-be-named opponent in a 6-round super featherweight bout, Chelmsley Wood, West Midlands’ Scott Melvin (12-1, 2 KOs) in a rematch against Coventry, West Midlands’ Dylan Cheema (11-3, 3 KOs) in an 8-round, lightweight bout at 135bs, and Walsall, West Midlands ‘ Hamza Uddin (6-0, 3 KOs) vs. Tanzania’s Jemsi Kibazange (22-15-4, 8 KOs) in a 6-round flyweight bout at 112lbs.

Sheffield, England – (August 11, 2025) – The world title is in touching distance for super-lightweight standout Sean McComb (19-2, 5 KO’s) as he heads to Sheffield’s Canon Medical Arena on Saturday, September 27th for an IBF European Super-Lightweight Championship challenge against Ben Crocker (14-0, 2 KO’s).

The championship clash headlines the GBM: ON THE EDGE main card – which airs live and exclusively worldwide on DAZN – and will see the winner enter the top ten of the IBF super-lightweight rankings.

In the chief support bout, reigning British and Commonwealth super-bantamweight champion Tysie Gallagher (9-2) returns to the ring to take on undefeated challenger Ellie Hellewell (7-0, 1 KO). The sharp southpaw champion makes her second consecutive two-title defence and faces an all-action contender taking her first shot at these prestigious belts.

The main card also features Dutch demolition man Gradus Kraus (7-0, 7 KO’s). The power-punching young light-heavyweight prodigy – trained by Peter Fury – has electrified audiences in the UK and his native Netherlands throughout 2025. In June he scored a stunning second-round stoppage on a GBM main card and looks to repeat the feat next month.

For McComb – who is widely agreed to have suffered a robbery in his split-decision loss to Edson Barboza Jr in their April 2024 WBO world title eliminator – this European title clash with Crocker is the crucial first step on what could be a short road to a world title shot against reigning IBF champion Richardson Hitchins. 

Belfast man McComb says, “I see a clear pathway to the world title starting in Sheffield on September 27th against Ben Crocker. The IBF European Championship is on the line and a win should see me enter the rankings top ten, where I’ve already got an amateur win over Lindolfo Delgado. He’s ranked #3 now, so maybe me and him could rematch in a world title eliminator for a shot at Richardson Hitchins. So we’re in touching distance here. 

“First I have to beat Ben Crocker next month, so all my focus is on that. I like what I’ve seen of him – he’s a tall, rangy southpaw and he likes to finish last in every exchange. It’s a good style, but I’ll figure it out and I’ll get the win. I think our styles match well to make a good fight for the fans and a really important fight for my career.”

For proud Welshman Crocker, this fight is a chance to take a top name and open up big opportunities.

“Sean McComb is a great fighter. He’s a slick, awkward southpaw and he’s undeniably world level, so this is a massive fight for me. Beating him will open so many doors for me and push me on to bigger fights and bigger opportunities. I’ve got my eyes on the prize. I’m going to go in there and get the job done, simple as that,” says Crocker.

GBM promoter Izzy Asif looks forward to another sold out visit to Sheffield’s Canon Medical Arena. “This is our sixth visit to what’s become our home arena in our home city and each event has been better than the last. I’m expecting fireworks from this one and another sold out crowd. Sean McComb is a world champion in waiting and sparks will fly with Crocker. Gradus Kraus is simply dynamite, you have to see it to believe it. We’ve got a great night lined up for arena fans and DAZN viewers around the world.”

Sheffield, England – (Jan 27th, 2025) – Following the sudden and tragic passing of a close family member following a criminal assault in Luton last week, defending British, Commonwealth and European champion Tysie Gallagher has made the difficult decision to withdraw from her scheduled title defences against Ebonie Jones.

A 25-year-old man has now been arrested and charged with murder in connection with last week’s incident.

Originally set to take place on the main card of GBM: A NEW DAWN on Friday, February 7th, the bout will now be rescheduled to an upcoming event once Gallagher is able to return to training.

“This incident has shocked and saddened us all and on behalf of myself and everyone at GBM Sports, we want to extend our deepest sympathies to Tysie Gallagher and her family at this very trying time. We would ask that fans and media respect their privacy in the weeks ahead and whenever Tysie is ready to return, we will be here for her,” said Izzy Asif, GBM founder.

February 7th’s event at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield will now proceed as an 11-fight card airing live worldwide on DAZN.

The card is headlined by a main event contest which sees Shakan Pitters challenge defending champion Daniel ‘Blenda’ Dos Santos, a French special forces veteran, for the European Light-Heavyweight Championship.
