Preview
Ebanie Bridges was supposed to face Avril Mathie tonight, but Mathie had to withdraw a little over a week ago due to injury, so Miyo Yoshida stepped in last week as the replacement. Bridges, a high school math teacher by day, boxer by night, hasn’t been in the ring since last December (tomorrow marks 1 year) when she defeated Shannon O’Connell by 8th round TKO.
Miyo Yoshida held the WBO junior bantamweight title until a loss to Tamao Ozawa relieved her of that belt. Yoshida faced Shurretta Metcalf just last month for the vacant IBF Inter-continental female bantamweight title but was unsuccessful in her bid for that strap. The fight went to unanimous decision and with that loss, brings her five-fight tally to just 2-3. Let’s take a look at the facts and figures of both women:
Ebanie Bridges
- Current IBF women’s bantamweight champion
- Age: 37
- Record: 9-1 (4 KOs)
- Last opponent: Shannon O’Connell
- Master’s degree in teaching (graduated at top of her class)
Miyo Yoshida
- Former WBO women’s junio bantamweight champion
- Age: 35
- Record: 16-4 (0 KOs)
- Last opponent: Shurretta Metcalf
- ranked No. 9 best active female junior-bantamweight
