IBF Bantamweight World Champion Miyo Yoshida to have 4-time World Champion Jorge Linares in her corner
Oktober. 23 vs. Shurretta Metcalf Theater at Madison Square Garden
(L-R) – Miyo Yoshida & Jorge Linares NEW YORK CITY (Oktober 7, 2024)– Three-time, two-division World Champion Reigning Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 Uitklophoue) will add a special addition to her corner on October 23rd, when she makes the initial defense of her International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight title against No. 1 contender Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 Uitklophoue), at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Yoshida vs. Metcalf will headline in a 10-round (2-minutes each) main event on the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment, which will celebrate and support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces in advance of Veterans Day in the latest addition of the popularBroadway Boxing reeks.
Future Hall of Famer Jorge “El Nino de Oro Golden Boy” Linares (47-9, 29 Uitklophoue), the four-time, three-division world champion from his native Venezuela, will be making the trip from his home in Tokyo to the Big Apple, where he fought twice during his 21-year pro boxing career. “My senior, Jorge Linares, will be joining me as my second this time,” through a translator Yoshida explained the difference between her first fight with her Oct. 23rd uitdager. “It is reassuring to have someone who can give me instructions in Japanese for spur-of-the-moment decisions during this fight. The members of Team Sosa (Jimmy Sosa is her head trainer) are also learning Japanese. The team is united.
“Although I am struggling with the English language, I am very happy to have come to New York City. I am grateful to Lou DiBella (her promoter, DiBella Vermaak) for giving me the opportunity. The condition from him was for me and my daughter to immigrate here. I am very thankful to my manager, Keith Sullivan, for handling the business side and guiding me. Even though I don’t speak English, I have met many friends who saw what I was doing and supported me.”
Linares moved to Japan at the age of 17 because he wanted to turn pro and would have had to wait until he was 18 if he had remained in Venezuela. Hy was 10-4 in die wêreld titel gevegte, defeating six world champions: Hugo Rafael Soto, Oscar Larios, Gámliël Diaz, Jesus Chavez and Anthony Crolla (twee keer).
Yoshida, 35, captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Flyweight crowns twice in 2019 en 2021. She is one of 23 female world champions from Japan, only the sixth to capture world titles in two or more divisions.
In her last fight, Metcalf defeated Yoshida by way of a 10-round unanimous decision for the International Boxing Federation (IBF), ironies, on the original “Heroes of the Hudson” last November 7 also at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Last December in her most recent fight, Yoshida put on a boxing clinic in San Francisco, replacing injured Avril Mathie on less than two weeks’ notice to defeat defending IBF bantamweight title-holder Ebanie Bridges (9-1) by way of a dominant 10-round unanimous decision (99-91, 99-91, 97-93).
A single mother of daughter her, Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model back, and for that reason as well as her success in the ring, Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine.
Yoshida vs. Metcalf launches the beginning of the Great 8 Tournament to determine the undisputed women’s bantamweight world champion “Miyo is a 3-time World Champion, she has proven she knows what it takes to win. Outside the ring she is an amazing single mother raising her beautiful daughter in a foreign country. Few have made the sacrifices to create opportunities for her and her daughter the way Miyo has. It is an honor to be working with such a dynamic and exciting world champion”, said Miyo’s manager New York City-based lawyer Keith Sullivan.
Sullivan is a former Deputy Commissioner for the New York State Athletic Commission, who manages IBF and WBA #6 rated welterweight Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue), en WBC #9 rated super middleweight Nisa Rodriguez (2-0, 0 Uitklophoue), amongst several other professional fighters.
PROVIDENCE (Mei 28, 2024) – Providence polisiebeampte Kyana “Special Kay” Williams, 'n 2024 New England Goue Handskoene Kampioen, het 'n bronsmedalje in die weltergewig verower (146-pond) afdeling by die onlangse Nasionale Goue Handskoene-toernooi van Kampioene wat deur die Stad Detroit aangebied is.
Die National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions bevat 'n Who's Who van amateurboks in die Verenigde State. Feitlik elke groot V.S. bokser sedert 1928 het aan hierdie gesogte kompetisie deelgeneem.
Williams het Zamyla Thurman-Houston in die openingsronde by wyse van 'n eenparige besluit uitgesluit., 5-0, en sy is in die halfeindronde gekantel, 3-2, deur Brianna Gulia, die uiteindelike naaswenner.
“Ek het bewys dat ek een van die bestes in die land is,” het ’n ekstatiese Williams oor haar vertoning gesê. “Ek is regtig opgewonde daaroor.”
Williams, 'n inwoner van Voorsienigheid, word afgerig deur David Keefe en Joshua Lemar by Bishop's Boxing in Bridgewater en Veloz Boxing in Providence.
SPAN WILLIAMS (R-L) – Joshua Lemar, Kyana Williams en Dave Keefe
“Sy het uit die niet gekom,” het afrigter Keefe verduidelik. "Drie jaar gelede, Ek het vegters opgelei en Kyana was in die gimnasium. Ek het dit vir haar gesê toe sy gereed was om my te kontak, Ek sou haar oplei. Ons het vier maande gelede saam begin en kyk wat sy gedoen het. Sy kan nou pro word, maar ek wil graag aan nog ’n paar dinge werk voordat sy dit doen.”
Williams het verskeie struikelblokke gehad om te oorkom om te kom waar sy is in die lewe sowel as boks. Toe Keefe haar die eerste keer gesien het, Kyana was nie gereed om hom tot boks te verbind nie, grootliks vanweë haar nuwe loopbaan as polisiebeampte. Vandag, sy is in haar agtste jaar as lid van die Providence-polisiedepartement, patrolleer die Noordeinde van die stad. Sy het onlangs die Speurderslys gemaak, en sy verwag om binnekort bevorder te word.
Want haar werkskedule is tussen 6:45 voormiddag. EN en 2:45 namiddag. EN, sy is in staat om haar roeping en boks te jonglereer. Haar tipiese dag begin by 5 voormiddag. vir krag-en-kondisionering opleiding, gevolg deur 'n oggenddraf, en sy doen haar boksoefeninge saans.
“Ek is ’n vroeë opstander,” het sy erken, “So ek het geen probleme nie (haar tyd te bestuur). Ek het 'n werk om te doen, reëls is reëls en wette is wette, en ek probeer om mense se dae makliker te maak wanneer ek op oproep gaan. In die ring, al, Ek gee my teenstanders ’n moeilike tyd.”
Williams het in gevegsport begin as 'n skopbokser toe sy was 13, het vir die eerste keer deelgeneem toe sy was 15, en sy het eers begin inboks 2013. Sy het sewe jaar verlof geneem van boks, hoewel sy altyd by die gimnasium ingeloer het soos toe sy Keefe ontmoet het.
“Ek het polisiëring, maar jy kan nie boks speel nie,” het sy erken. “Ek was nie alles in nie (boks). Dit was soos om 'n fiets te ry. Ek het 'n paar dinge geleer wat my in boks gehelp het. Ek moet kalm wees om polisiewerk te doen soos ek in die ring doen. Die vlak van selfvertroue wat ek as polisiebeampte het, help my in die ring, te.
Daar was 'n paar ander kwessies. In 2015, sy en haar pa is albei tydens 'n huisinval geskiet. Williams is onder die heup geskiet, haar pa in die toon. Dokters het verkies om nie die koeël uit te haal nie weens moontlike senuweeskade en/of infeksie, te glo dat oefening die koeël veilig wegbeweeg van senuweeskade. “As ek ses myl gehardloop het,” het sy opgemerk, “My been sou lam word. Ek moes krag bou in my linker en, solank ek joga doen en strek, Ek is nou goed.”
Tydens haar blaaskans van boks, Williams het gewig bygevoeg en wanneer sy gereed was om tot boks te verbind, sy moes gewig verloor en verloor 65 pond.
“Toe ek Dave sien,” het die 27-jarige Williams bygevoeg, “Ek het geweet ek moet weer in vorm kom voordat ek hom kontak oor opleiding. Dit was die beste besluit wat ek ooit gemaak het.”
Nog 'n relevante vraag is of sy as 'n amateur sal bly boks of pro word.
“Ek is bly om deel te wees van USA Boxing,” het sy afgesluit, “maar ek sal luister as die regte ooreenkoms aangebied word. Ek het wel baie oë oopgemaak by The National Golden Gloves.”

NEW YORK (Maart 22, 2023)– Multiple world champion Kathy “Wildcat” Collins (14-2-4, 3 Uitklophoue) will become the first female boxer inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).
Collins, of Plainview, is one of a 22-member Class of 2022 being inducted at the 11th NYSBHOF induction dinner, geborg deur Ring 8, opSondag middag (12:30-5:30 namiddag. EN), April 30, by Russo se On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.
”It’s a tremendous honor to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame,” said Collins (married name Globuschutz). “This is my fourth induction into Halls of Fame, which is special to me since I also held four world titles. But this is even more special since it is finally here in New York, the Mecca of Boxing, and where it all started for me.
“In 1995, I was part of the first class of women ever allowed to box in the fabled Daily News Golden Gloves. A year later, the first women’s fight televised on the USA Tuesday night boxing series from the Paramount at Madison Square Garden, which culminated in the highest female purses at the time from Madison Square Garden as a co-featured bout on a major pay-per-view for Don King. These were major accomplishments in women’s boxing. It helped paved the way for women today, some coming out of the Olympics, selling out The Garden and working towards equal pay with seven-figure pay days.”
Collins’ second professional fight was a six-round decision over Andrea DeShong in 1996, which brought pro women’s boxing to the famed Madison Square Garden and regular cable television.

Collins became the first fighter to simultaneously own world titles in the WIBF, IFBA, and IWBF.
Kathy Collins is a true pioneer in women’s boxing. Nou, she’ll be honored at home in New York by her induction into the NYSBHOF.
“In 30 jaar,” het sy afgesluit, “we’ve come a long way baby! It is truly an honor to be recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and to be recognized and included in in a tremendously talented, successful class of inductees, and being around so many of my friends and colleagues that helped me break ceilings along the way.”

LAVAL, Quebec, Kanada (Maart 16, 2023) — Montreal’s Kim Clavel (16-0-1, 3KO) will step back into the ring to take on Naomi “La Chapita” Arellano Reyes (9-2-0, 5KO), Los Angeles, for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) International Flyweight Championship on April 28, by Place Bell in Laval. The vacant WBC international flyweight title will be on the line as confirmed by the WBC. We have also requested sanctions for the division’s IBF Inter-Continental and WBO Inter-Continental titles as well. Verbal confirmation has been obtained and we expect to receive the required sanctions confirmation within the next few hours.
This will be the first fight for Clavel, 32, since the incredible clash this past of January 13 against World Boxing Association (WBA) world champion Yesica Nery Plata (29-2-0, 3KO), which the popular Canadian lost by decision in her first WBC title defense.
April 28th will mark the start of Clavel’s “RECONQUEST”, who intends to prove herself again by positioning her for a rematch with Plata as quickly as possible. She is presently ranked as the WBC #1, WBO #3 en IBF #4 aanspraakmaker.
Clavel is more motivated than ever, sê: “I want to regain my world title, but I will take it one fight at a time. We will reposition ourselves in the rankings. I’m going to need all of Quebec behind me. I’m confident with my team, my perseverance and all of you that, by the end of the year, we’ll get more than just a world champion belt! Thank you for your eternal support.”
Originally from Nayarit, Mexiko, Reyes now lives and trains in Los Angeles, Kalifornië. The 28-year-old Reyes is renowned for her power as evidenced by her 5 knockout victories to date. Her most notable win was versus former multiple time world champion Carina Moreno (25-7-0, 6KO) in 2020. In her last outing last October, Reyes lost by decision against Gabriela Fundura (8-0-0, 4KO) for the WBC Latino flyweight title in a PBC event broadcast on Showtime.
Clavel and Reyes were supposed to face each other in August 2021 at the IGA Stadium, but the latter had to withdraw due to health restrictions to enter Canada, and she was replaced by Maria Vargas (14-4-1, 1KO).
“It is with great enthusiasm and confidence that we are relaunching Kim with the ultimate goal of allowing her to avenge her defeat and regain her world title,” said GYM President Yvon Michel. “We remember the great intense and passionate fight between the two champions last January. Behalwe, the latter is still in the running for the 2023 Stryd van die Jaar! Die 4,000 spectators at Place Bell are still excited. To return to the world championship, Kim must prove herself again and these international titles will allow her to become a must challenger for the champion.”
Groupe Yvon Michel is a professional boxing promotion organization, founded in 2004 by Yvon Michel, Alexandra Croft and Bernard Barré, who are still active in the company, the most prolific in the history of professional boxing in Canada. Since its foundation, GYM has promoted 165 events in Quebec, all televised in Quebec on RDS, TVA Sports or Radio-Canada, as well as participated in 38 international events outside Quebec. Eight GYM boxers have become world champions: Joachim Alcine, Jean Pascal, Adonis Stevenson, Artur Beterbiev, Eleider Alvarez, Marie-Eve Dicaire (twee keer), Oscar Rivas and Kim Clavel. Nineteen boxers from the organization have delivered 54 world championship fights, maintaining an excellent record of 30 oorwinnings, 22 losses and 2 trek. During this period, major American television networks were more active than ever in coming to Quebec to broadcast the most important events of the organization.
Tampa, FL (Mei 2, 2022) – Like most who love the sweet science, onoorwonne middelgewigtitel Connor “The Kid” Coylewas fully engaged in theKatie Taylor–Amanda Serrano stryd.
Recognized as the biggest in women’s boxing history, Taylor-Serrano took place in front more than 19,000 fans at a sold outMadison Square Garden. It was the first time a female fight headlined at The Mecca of Boxing.
Following four fast-paced and competitive rounds, Serrano rocked Taylor in the fifth with a left hook followed by a left cross. Taylor was in bad shape and nearly tasted the canvas for the first time in her career but managed to finish the round on her feet.
Serrano kept the momentum over the next few rounds as she appeared to be headed towards the biggest win of her great career. Taylor impressively turned the tides in the final three rounds of the contest, finding her second wind and outfighting Serrano en route to a split decision victory.
“What an incredible fight that was – major credit to both women” said Coyle, who trained with Taylor in Dublin when both were amateurs. “Katie really had to overcome a lot of adversity against Serrano especially in the fifth round. Katie showed incredible heart and came through like a champion. She’s a true warrior and great inspiration for me heading into the most important fight of my career.”
Coyle, 15-0 (7 KO se), meets Antonio Todd in a ten round contest for theNABA middleweight title Saterdag, Mei 21 by die Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL. Coyle-Todd airs live onBally Sports Networkas part of theEntrobox Championship Boxing Series by 9 pm et.

Pain, who pro debuted just seven months ago in July ’21, is on a fast track for World Championship honours, and quite rightly so as she oozes serious talent from every pore, and what’s more is willing to take on all-comers, as proved by her decision to go toe-to-toe with Mary Abbey, whose record stands at 3-0-0 with all victories coming by way of KO, after her original opponent Ghana’s Leticia Abbott failed to receive her visa in time.
Speaking from her home earlier Pain said, “I can’t wait to get in the ring on Friday.
“I’ve got a tough girl in Mary, but I’m in boxing to climb the rankings and overcome anyone that’s in my way to get to the top.
“I train hard and sacrifice a lot so I’m excited to show my talent and make my mark on the pro scene”
In addition to the exciting Pain versus Abbey World Boxing Foundation (WBF) Championship fight, Promoter Trevor Lake has put together a mouthwatering International undercard that features boxers from Africa, Indië, Poland and of course the UK.

Hollie Towl may only be 18 jaar oud, but already she is competing at the highest level in the professional game, just as she did as an amateur, winning no less than five National championships as well as many other regional accolades.
Since turning pro in September 2020 the sensational teen has racked up an impressive 6-0-0 record and is the youngest World Champion, of either gender, having secured the Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) Featherweight World Championship back in September 2021, with a win over Argentina’s Cristina Del Valle Pacheco.
On Sunday afternoon Towl stepped up a division to challenge and beat former Italian Amateur National Champion Nadia Flalhi to secure the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Super Featherweight European Championship by unanimous decision; winning every round on judges Carla Fox and Steve Tighe’s scorecards and winning all but three rounds which judge Adrian Thorne scored as drawn on his card.
On paper this was as as close to a genuine fifty-fifty contest you possibly wish for, exceptional amateur careers and both unbeaten as professionals, so no surprise then that the actual fight soon became a full on Battle Royale.
Right from the opening bell both sensational young warriors went into battle, it was breathtaking watching the contest unfold, initially Flalhi took full advantage of her height and superior reach to keep Towl at bay, but Towl is as savvy as they come and it wasn’t long before she used her exceptional ring craft to neutralise the Italian’s height and reach advantage, before letting rip with scintillating flurries and big shots to head and body.
As the fight progressed Flalhi adapted her game plan and drew the feisty teen to the inside, a plan that may have worked on others with less ability, but not with Towl, she was just as happy to go to war up close and took advantage of every opportunity that came her way.
In addition to the sensational Towl versus Flalhi finale of the Boyle Pro Boxing promoted event, the fans in attendance were treated to five further closely matched contests.
Worksop’s Eleanor Coulson extended her record to 5-1-0 after her opponent Aimee Moody was forced to retire at the end of the first with a serious knee injury.
Middleweight Cameron Moran took his record to 2-0-0 with a close victory over the extremely tough Afghan born Londoner Zahir Bennett. Moran versus Bennett was without doubt a leading candidate for Fight of the Night, as with Towl versus Flalhi it was an all action affair.
Cruiserweight Alvis Berzins extended his unbeaten record to 3-0-1 with a closely fought victory over debuting Owen James. After four sensation rounds Referee Lee Murtagh scored the contest 39-38.
Chesterfield Super Middleweight Luke White endured a baptism of fire on his pro debut against Chessington, Surrey hard man Richard Harrison. White securing his first win as a pro by a 40-37 points victory.
Worksop’s Ben Gore made a surprise appearance, following debuting Jayden Harris pulling out the day before, and faced Belfast’s Marty Kayes. Clearly was worthwhile stepping up to the plate for Gore as Referee Adrian Thorne scored the contest in his favour 40-37.
Boxing fans will not have to wait long to watch these young warriors in action again, as Boyle’s Pro Boxing has another event planned at the Shirebrook Leisure Centre in Mansfield on the 26th March 2022, and as with Sunday’s event will be broadcast exclusively live on FITE, in association with KC Sofas, and word is Chris Boyle is contemplating Hollie Towl making her first defence of her WIBA Featherweight World title – watch this space!
