New Zealand Boxer From Hawarden Returns After Winning The Australian Title & More News Here – Upjobsnews

New Zealand born boxer Nicila Costello is scheduled to
return to the boxing ring on May 7th against Muay Thai
fighter Hannah Morgan at Royal International Convention
Centre in Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia.

Nicila Costello was born
in the small town on the South Island of Hawarden in the
region of canterbury. You might have never heard of the
town, especially since the population of Hawarden is less
than 300 people. She moved to Australia in December 2012.
Now she lives in Brisbane, running three F45 Studios while
living with her wise and their one-year-old
child.

Costello is relatively new to boxing as she
only started in 2019. “I initially started boxing as a way
to break up my normal training routine. I got hooked by the
constant challenge that boxing presented, and new from the
first session I wanted to compete”. She trains out of the
gym BTB Boxing Fitness under her coach, a New Zealand born
Australian and multiple national amateur champion Todd
Commons. Costello is promoted by Ace Boxing Group under
Angelo Di Carlo, who also promotes other New Zealand born
Australians, including Benjamin Kelleher, Billy Limov, and
Floyd Masson.

After performing in the amateurs for a
couple of years, Costella made her professional against
Jessica Clancy in June 2021 in her new home away from New
Zealand of Townsville, Queensland. She won the fight by
Majority Decision, a moment that Costella describes as one
of her proudest moments. “My debut in Townsville, I
didn’t realise at the time how iconic that fight would
become, and it was amazing to have so many parents come up
afterward to ask for me to get photos with their
kids.”

A few months after that fight, Costello
returned to the ring to face Ali Jensen for the Queensland
State Female Super Flyweight Title in September 2021. It was
another successful fight for her, especially scoring a
knockdown against her opponent in the second round. Costella
won the fight by Unanimous Decision, winning her first
professional boxing title.

To end her successful year
so far, Costello took on the daughter of a Combat sports
power couple, former kickboxing world champion Angela
Rivera-Parr and 10-time kickboxing world champion John Wayne
Parr, Jasmine Parr. Jasmine Parr is already a
well-established kickboxer winning multiple Australian
national and international Kickboxing titles. This is the
first attempt for both boxers for the Australian national
title. Costello showed some real heart in the fight,
especially recovered from a knockdown in the 6th round;
however, Jasmine won the fight with Costello suffering her
first defeat.

Last month, Costello made her in-ring
return with her second attempt at the Australian National
title in a new weight division. She took on the Australasian
champion and undefeated boxer Natalie Hills. Costello
dominated her before stopping her opponent in the second
round, winning her second professional title. “Winning the
Australian title in March, more than the title itself, I’m
just proud of how I performed and how far I had come in
terms of my own personal growth when it came to that
victory.”

Her next fight is scheduled for the 7th of
may against Hannah Morgan; however, she aims to reach the
top 15 on one of the four major sanctioning body rankings
(WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF). She would love to get one fight:
UK-born New Zealander, two-time IBF World title challenger,
and WBC Muay Thai World champion Michelle Preston. Preston
retired from boxing in 2016 and from Kickboxing in 2017;
however, in 2021, Preston expressed interest to return to
the Boxing ring again soon. “I’m proud to represent New
Zealand over here in Australia, but nothing would beat
fighting a kiwi!”.

Nicila Costello vs. Hannah Morgan
will be featured on the Steve Spark vs. Blake Minto
undercard. The co-main event will feature a New Zealander
vs. New Zealander fight with New Zealand-born Australian
Benjamin Kelleher taking on New Zealand born Australian
Peter Sa’lesui in a rematch for the IBO Oceania-Oriant
Cruiserweight
title.
