Valle to defend minimumweight title on Dec. 19th

Costa Rica's Yokasta Valle will return to the ring on Friday, December 19th on the Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul undercard at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Valle (33-3) will face Yadira Bustillos (11-1) in a card broadcast by Netflix. Valle’s WBC minimumweight world title will be on the line. Valle, one of the most active figures in women’s boxing, comes in with momentum from multiple defenses and with the aim of strengthening her standing in the division. Bustillos, of Mexican descent and based in the United States, enters the biggest opportunity of her career, supported by a high-pressure style and results that earned her a mandatory challenger position.
