“I think I showed a little bit more spite, showed a little bit more I could do,” Nicolson said post-match.
“I knew she was going to be dangerous. She wasn’t as aggressive as we’d prepared for and expected. I definitely wanted to keep my shape, pick my shots and go through the gears as we went through the fight and I feel like I stuck to that plan.
“I’ll be honest, my lead hand was getting a little bit sore from all the jabs I was landing so I had to start throwing the left hand, but it forced me to do more.”
A Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Nicolson is now 11-0 as a professional, after winning the vacant title against Sarah Mahfoud back in April.
Nicolson could next look to become undisputed champion, with Amanda Serrano holding the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
