since signing with Jake Paul\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions.<\/a><\/p>\nStanding across from her will be the massively experienced Yoshida, who has previously held world titles across two divisions and is looking to upset the popular Queenslander.<\/p>\n
Yoshida says she is very well aware she will enter as the underdog.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people see Skye Nicolson as the favourite and I understand why as she is an excellent fighter,\u201d Yoshida said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I have dedicated my life to boxing and I am prepared to give everything for this opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise the fans will see a fearless Miyo Yoshida. I will bring the heart of Japan, my experience as a three-time world champion and everything I have into this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn fight night, I believe the world will see me crowned as the new WBC super bantamweight champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicolson-Yoshida will form part of a stacked MVPW-07 card featuring four world championship fights, headlined by American superstar Alycia Baumgardner\u2019s bid to become a two-division champion.<\/p>\n
Baumgardner, the unified super featherweight champion and one of the biggest names in women\u2019s boxing, is stepping up to lightweight to throw down with undefeated IBF champ Elif Nur Turhan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I set my mind to something, I see it through, and 135 will be no different,\u201d Baumgardner said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSunday, November 8 is a superfight, the kind of fight boxing deserves, and the beginning of my next chapter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what it takes to become undisputed. I\u2019ve done it before, and I\u2019ll do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
In another major title showdown, undefeated WBC featherweight champion Tiara Brown will defend against former undisputed super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney.<\/p>\n
Scotney is moving up to 126lbs as she attempts to become a two-division world champion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait for the next chapter to begin at 126lbs, where I truly believe the world will see the best of me,\u201d Scotney said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time to make more history.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tszyu v Mahoney: HEATED final face off | 05:53<\/p>\n
Rounding out the four-fight championship main card, Somali-British contender Ramla Ali will square off with undefeated American Mikiah Kreps for the vacant WBO and IBF super bantamweight titles.<\/p>\n
\u201cMikiah and I have sparred probably a hundred rounds together,\u201d Ali said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a lot of respect for her, and I know her journey in boxing hasn\u2019t been easy either.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe both know we\u2019ll leave everything in that ring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skye Nicolson finally has a new date for her world title defence against Japan\u2019s Miyo Yoshida, with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":875109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-875108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/875109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
