She captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Flyweight crown twice in 2019 和 2021. Japan is a powerbase in men’s professional boxing with contemporary superstars such as Undisputed Junior Featherweight World Champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue (28-0, 25 科斯) 和世界拳击理事会 (WBC) Bantamweight World Champion Junto Nakatani (29-0, 22 科斯). 然而, in women’s boxing today, Yoshida is arguably the best from Japan, as well as one of the greatest female prizefighters of all-time from the Land of the Rising Son, behind only retired Japanese fighters Naoko Fujioka (19-3-1, 7 科斯), Japan’s only five-weight class female world champion, and possibly Emiko Raika (24-8-1, 10 科斯). A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo在日本被称为“战斗单亲妈妈”, where she is a revered role model. 吉田获得 2023 《The Ring》杂志颁发的最励志女拳手奖. “I hope to further shape the way that was created by our predecessors into a better one for the next generation,” Yoshida said. To cement her legacy, Yoshida must first get past Metcalf in their rematch, avenging Miyo’s loss by way of 10-round decision a year ago, and advance in the Great 8 确定无可争议的女子雏量级世界冠军的比赛. 幸好, all of the world bantamweight champions – WBC/WBO & The Ring Champion Dina Thorslund (22-0, 9 科斯) of Denmark, IBF Ellie Scotney (9-0, 0 科斯) from the United Kingdom, and the Yoshida vs. Metcalf winner (their fight technically launches the tournament) – will compete in the Great 8 along with some of the leading contenders such as Cherneka Johnson (16-2, 6 科斯), Yulihan “La Cobritas” Luna Avila (27-4-1, 4 科斯), and Segolene “Majestic” Lefebure (18-1, 1 KO). “马上,” Yoshida noted, “I’m only thinking of defending my title belt. I had been hoping for unification fights since I was able to become world champion again. I was impatient with this interval between matches because it is the last chapter due to my age. If I couldn’t compete in boxing, I thought about returning to kickboxing or MMA. I didn’t want to be in between fights, and I thought it would be better for me and for women’s boxing if I became well known.” “Japan’s boxing scene carries a rich history with a strong cultural connection to its people,” Miyo’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “Japanese boxers honor a tradition of competitive excellence and outstanding sportsmanship. Miyo embodies these qualities as she fights for the pride of Japan. She is an exemplary champion for her native country.” 沙利文是纽约州体育委员会前副专员, IBF和WBA由谁管理 #6 次中量级帕迪“真正的交易”多诺万 (14-0, 重量级新秀普莱斯·泰勒 (4-0, 2 科斯), 和WBC #9 超中量级妮莎·罗德里格斯 (2-0, 0 科斯), 以及其他几位职业拳手. 票价介于 $200 和 $55, 可以在以下位置购买：: HTTPS://www.ticketmaster.com/event/3B00613413292E16?做了=吉田 信息X : @MiyoBledogInstagram : @miyo_yoshida_Facebook: /生活很糟糕 |
