НЕВ ИОРК ЦИТИ (Јул 15, 2025) - Троструки, two-division World ChampionMiyo Yoshida (18-5) is tired of waiting for her mandated International Boxing Federation (ИБФ) Bantamweight world title shot as its No. 1-rated mandatory challenger.
Yoshida won the World Boxing Organization (ВБО) Super Flyweight title in 2019 и 2021. On December 9, 2022, she fought in San Francisco as a late replacement on only two weeks’ белешка, impressively defeating IBF Bantamweight World titleholderEbanie Bridges (9-1) by unanimous decision over 10 метака (99-91, 99-91, 97-93).
Прошлог октобра, Yoshida lost her IBF title in a controversial 10-round decision toShurretta Metcalf (14-5-1, 2 КОс). Last Friday night, Metcalf lost the IBF belt toCherneka Johnson (18-2, 7 КОс), the WBA Bantamweight World Champion, наKatie Taylor-Amanda Serrano IIIundercard at Madison Square Garden. Са победом, Johnson also scooped up the vacated World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) и Светска боксерске организације (ВБО) светске титуле.
When Metcalf defeated Yoshida, it was with highly questionable tallies of 99-91, 97-93, и 96-94. Her manager, Attorney Keith Sullivan, appealed the result to the IBF, arguing that Yoshida’s accurate jabs and higher punch connection rate should have earned her the win. Sullivan’s appeal was strongly supported by COMPUBOX statistics: Yoshida out-landed Metcalf in eight of the 10 rounds by a margin of 96 на 64 in total connects, укључујући а 49-17 edge in jabs and 30 на 16 in punches landed to the body. Yoshida’s defensive skills were also on display, with Metcalf landing just nine percent of her overall punches thrown.
The IBF ruled in January that Yoshida was its No. 1 обавезно Цхалленгер, requiring the titleholder to defend against Miyo by this October.
Yoshida’s promoter, Лоу ДиБелла, got her back into the win column against a tough opponent on February 1, when she defeatedBeata Dudek преко 10 рунди једногласном одлуком (99-91, 97-93, 96-94).
“Miyo is a three-time world champ and a trailblazing symbol for Japanese women as an athlete and single mom. I applaud the IBF for recognizing that Yoshida deserves the opportunity to regain her belt. We will continue to push for Miyo to get her title shot as soon as possible, and I am confident that we can work out a deal with MVP. They are in the business of making the best fights in women’s boxing. Undisputed Champ Cherneka Johnson vs. Miyo is a terrific match,” said Lou DiBella, President ofДиБелла Забава.
“Lou has done a great job keeping Miyo active and creating great opportunities for her. The time is here for Miyo’s title match to finally get scheduled. Срећом, Jake and Nakisa are helping to change the landscape for women in boxing under their MVP banner,” stated Miyo’s manager, Keith Sullivan. “Congratulations to Cherneka, who fought a great fight and made history. The styles of Miyo and Johnson will make for an exciting, Фан-пријатељски борба. We have two promoters who firmly support women’s boxing, so I am confident we will get that title fight scheduled as soon as possible,” concluded Sullivan.
From ringside Friday night, Miyo said, “Johnson had the perfect fight plan. I respect her, but we’ll have a more intense fistfight. Тако, let’s finally get my mandatory title fight scheduled. We’ll see in the ring who deserves to raise the belt as the IBF bantamweight champion.”
Miyo Yoshida, познат као “Fighting Single Mother” у Јапану, is a respected role model and was the recipient ofПрстен Магазин‘s “Most Inspirational Female Fighter” award in 2023. She is among just 23 female world champions from Japan and only the sixth to hold world titles in multiple weight classes.
Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages undefeated Brooklyn heavyweightПрице Таилор (8-0, 6 КОс) and Bronx NYPD officerНиса Родригуез (3-1, 1 КО).

Yoshida to defend her IBF Bantamweight World title Oct. 23 вс. Shurretta Metcalf on ProBoxTV live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden
НЕВ ИОРК ЦИТИ (Октобар 14, 2024)– Three-time, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 КОс) will out her developing boxing legacy in Japan on the line October 23рд, when she makes the first defense of her International Boxing Federation (ИБФ) bantamweight crown against No. 1 contender Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 КОс), at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Yoshida vs. Metcalf will headline the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment and broadcast live on ProBoxTV, in the 10-round (2-minutes each) main event to celebrate and support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces in advance of Veterans Day in the latest addition of the popularБродвеј Бокс серија.
One of only 23 female world champions from Japan, The 35-year-old Yoshida is only the sixth from her country to capture world titles in two or more divisions. She captured the World Boxing Organization (ВБО) Super Flyweight crown twice in 2019 и 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 КОс) и Светски савет Бокс (ВБЦ) Bantamweight World Champion Junto Nakatani (29-0, 22 КОс). Међутим, 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 КОс), Japan’s only five-weight class female world champion, and possibly Emiko Raika (24-8-1, 10 КОс).
A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model. Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine.
“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 Tournament to determine the undisputed women’s bantamweight world champion. Срећом, all of the world bantamweight champions – WBC/WBO & The Ring Champion Dina Thorslund (22-0, 9 КОс) of Denmark, IBF Ellie Scotney (9-0, 0 КОс) 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 КОс), Yulihan “La Cobritas” Luna Avila (27-4-1, 4 КОс), and Segolene “Majestic” Lefebure (18-1, 1 КО).
“Right now,” 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.”
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 КОс), и ВБЦ #9 rated super middleweight Nisa Rodriguez (2-0, 0 КОс), amongst several other professional fighters.

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, ДиБелла Забава) 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.”

Collins, of Plainview, is one of a 22-member Class of 2022 being inducted at the 11th NYSBHOF induction dinner, спонсоред би Ринг 8, оНедеља поподне (12:30-5:30 п.м. И), Април 30, на Руссо је на залива у Ховард Беацх, Њујорк.
”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.
У 1997, Kathy captured the IFBA welterweight title and added the IWBF junior welterweight crown later that same year, онда, she dropped down to the lightweight division to successfully challenge for the IWBF championship. 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. Сада, she’ll be honored at home in New York by her induction into the NYSBHOF.
“In 30 године,” she concluded, “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, Квебек, Канада (Март 16, 2023) — Montreal’s Kim Clavel (16-0-1, 3КО) will step back into the ring to take on Naomi “La Chapita” Arellano Reyes (9-2-0, 5КО), оф Лос Ангелес, for the vacant World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) International Flyweight Championship on April 28, at 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 (ВБА) world champion Yesica Nery Plata (29-2-0, 3КО), 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, ВБО #3 и ИБФ #4 кандидат.
Clavel is more motivated than ever, рекавши: “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, Мексико, Reyes now lives and trains in Los Angeles, Калифорнија. 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, 6КО) у 2020. In her last outing last October, Reyes lost by decision against Gabriela Fundura (8-0-0, 4КО) 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, 1КО).
“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. Поред, the latter is still in the running for the 2023 Борба године! The 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: Јоаким Алцине, Јеан Пасцал, Адонис Стивенсон, Артур Бетербиев, Елеидер Алварез, Марие-Еве Дицаире (двапут), Oscar Rivas and Kim Clavel. Nineteen boxers from the organization have delivered 54 world championship fights, maintaining an excellent record of 30 победи, 22 losses and 2 ремија. 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.
