Long Beach, CA (October 20, 2025) Women’s Ring Magazine Super Flyweight Champion Mizuki ‘MIMI’ Hiruta, (9-0, 2 KOs), of Tokyo, Japan will make the sixth defense of her WBO World Title against #2 Ranked Gloria ‘Depredadora’ Gallardo, (16-3-3, 7 KOs), of Rosarita, Baja California, Mexico in the ten-round main event on Saturday, November 22 at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA.
Hiruta vs. Gallardo headlines another stellar Hollywood Fight Nights event promoted by Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions and broadcast globally on UFC FIGHT PASS®, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports.
“This is Mizuki’s fourth world title defense this year as she continues to validate her position as one of the best and most active pound-for-pound fighters in international women’s boxing,” said Tom Loeffler. “She wants to stay very active and wants to fight the best competition and Gloria Gallardo is one of the toughest female fighters in Mexico.”
Along with fellow Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue, Mizuki Hiruta is one of only two world champions fighting four times in 2025, all being world title defenses.
“We’re also finishing up the details on an outstanding undercard for fans in attendance at Thunder Studios and those watching our global broadcast on UFC Fight Pass,” continued Loeffler.
Said Mizuki Hiruta, ESPN’s #1 Ranked Super Flyweight, “I’m very grateful to Tom Loeffler, 360 Promotions and Coach Manny (Robles) for keeping me so active this year. That was our plan when we started working together last year and this is my fourth world title defense this year.”
“Gloria Gallardo has fought many solid fighters throughout her career and this is her first time fighting for a world title. I will be prepared for victory and to put on a great show for all my fans in Southern California and watching in Japan on UFC Fight Pass. No pasa nada!”
“Mizuki Hiruta has had her time but my time is now and I’m taking home the world title belt,” said Gloria Gallardo. “I’ve worked hard and earned my opportunity for this fight and plan on taking full advantage to cement my name as one of the best female boxers in the world and following in the growing legacy of champions from Mexico.”
The colorful and charismatic Mizuki Hiruta kicked off her 2025 campaign with an eighth-round stoppage of Maribel Ramirez on January 17 in Los Angeles accompanied by her growing legion of supporters and preceded by her renowned show-stopping ring walks. Following up on May 17, the southpaw demonstrated all of her world class skills and toughness in a dominant ten-round unanimous decision over Carla Merino. Most recently, the 29-year-old won a shutout ten-round unanimous decision over Naomy Cardenas Gomez on August 15.
The 30-year-old Gallardo, with only one loss since 2019, challenges for her first world title following a first-round knockout of Maria de Lourdes Garcia on March 15, 2015. Although world traveled, this will be her first fight in the United States.
Returning to the Hollywood Fight Night’s ring in an eight-round featherweight bout, ‘Right Hook’ Roxy Verduzco, (6-0, 1 KO), of Los Angeles, CA looks to cap off 2025 with her fifth victory of the year.
