Dallas's favorite female fighter "Chiccn" Shurretta Metcalf, 12-4-1 (2), will battle Miyo Yoshida, 16-3 (0). for the IBF Inter-Continental bantamweight title on November 7th at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. Metcalf eked out an impressive 10-round decision over this undefeated Houston-based Melissa Odessa Parker on July 29th on the undercard of Edward Vazquez vs Brayan De Gracia at Riders Field in Frisco. That win propels her into this title shot with Yoshida, which will be a part of a Dibella Entertainment card which is headlined by former 130-Pound world champion Jamel Herring, who battles unbeaten Massachusetts-based prospects Nicholas Molina. The event will stream live on DAZN starting at 6 PM CST. Metcalf has won two in a row since her disputed points loss to Danielle Bennett, which ended her nine-fight unbeaten streak. The Dallas native will battle Yoshida of Japan, who is coming off a close majority decision victory over the Dallas-based Indeya Smith, also in New York City in April. That was Yoshida's first fight in the US. Her previous 18 fights were all in her native Japan.
