‘Blonde Bomber’ Ebanie Bridges suffered a shocking upset on Saturday night, surrendering her IBF bantamweight championship to Miyo Yoshida.
Stepping in to fight Bridges on just 20 days’ notice and a month removed from her decision loss to Shurretta Metcalf, the Japanese veteran delivered a dominant performance throughout the 10-round affair and left the Chase Center in San Francisco with championship gold around her waist.
Things started relatively slow between the two fighters, but with less than a minute to go in the opening round, Bridges and Yoshida began to let their hands go with the challenger landing a solid right hand in the closing seconds.
