Miyo Yoshida and Shurretta Metcalf both made weight ahead of their IBF women’s bantamweight title fight tomorrow at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The fight will be broadcast on (which owns BoxingScene) and promoted by DiBella Entertainment.
Both fighters came in below the bantamweight limit, with Yoshida weighing in at 117.2lbs and Metcalf coming in at 116.4lbs.
This bout is a rematch of their fight last year. Yoshida, 17-4 (4 KOs), is originally from Japan but now residing in New York City, and aims to avenge a unanimous decision loss to Metcalf, 13-4-1 (2 KOs), of Dallas, Texas. After her loss to Metcalf, Yoshida took a short-notice fight in San Francisco, where she dethroned IBF titleholder Ebanie Bridges.
Neither the 36-year-old Yoshida nor 39-year-old Metcalf has fought in 2024 so far.
The co-feature will see the return of Mykquan Williams, who will be fighting for the third time this year. Williams, 21-0-2 (10 KOs), knocked out Luis Feliciano to start 2024 on ProBox TV and recorded a sixth-round technical knockout victory in June.
Williams, 26, from East Hartford, Connecticut, weighed in at the junior welterweight limit of 140.0 lbs, while his opponent, 33-year-old Lavisas Williams from Rochester, New York, came in at 138.6 lbs.
