“And the new IBF Bantamweight champion of the world, Miyo Yoshida.” Perhaps the sweetest words Miyo Yoshida heard after accepting to fight Ebanie Bridges with just twenty days’ notice. The 16-4-0 boxer from Japan shocked the world by defeating Ebanie Bridges via unanimous decision. Interestingly, what made the night even more special for Yoshida was the fact that her mother was in the audience, cheering for the 35-year-old pugilist.

When fans found the tweet, chaos erupted in the comment section.
