    Yoshida, 35, was drafted in at the last minute after Bridges’ prospective opponent, Avril Mathie, pulled out of the fight.
    The defeat saw Bridges lose her IBF Bantamweight world title belt at the Chase Centre in San Francisco.
    Bridges and Yoshida were on the undercard of the bout between Devin Haney and Regis Prograis, which Haney won with a huge points victory after dominating the fight.
    Despite the Japanese star’s veteran status and her jumping in at the last minute, she was dominant in the fight and battered Bridges throughout.

    The judges scored her a unanimous victory with two scores of 99-91 and one of 97-93.
    Bridges struggled to ever get going and was consistently on the end of Yoshida’s powerful right hand.
    Statistics afterwards showed that Yoshida landed 122 punches to the Blonde Bomber’s 66.
    There was some controversy during the bout but it did little to effect the outcome of the tie.

    “A loss doesn’t define me. I have no quit, it’s all learning and I’ll be back better & stronger. Thank you to everyone who supports me. I love you all.”

    Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney LIVE RESULT: Haney remains undefeated and becomes champ while Ebanie Bridges loses title

    DEVIN HANEY has overcome Regis Progrias by unanimous shutout decision to become a two-weight world champion. Haney absolutely dominated the bout, winning all 12 rounds and getting the win via unanimous decision. Prograis’ team nearly threw in the towel during the fight.
    The 25-year-old has now won all of his 31 professional bouts, previously beating Vasyl Lomachenko by unanimous decision.
    Also, on the huge San Francisco bill, Ebanie Bridges lost her title to Miyo Yoshida in her first fight since last December.

    Follow our Prograis vs Haney live blog below…
    ‘A dream come true’
    Devin Haney described his win last night as a “dream come true.”
    “It’s a dream come true,” Haney said.
    “I knew I had him hurt a few times. I went in there and was real disciplined. I made it as easy as possible.”
    Haney added that he will now speak with his father to decide on his next match-up.

    Is Devin Haney married?
    Haney isn’t married and in early 2023 it was confirmed that his romance with social media influencer India Love was over.
    The pair debuted their relationship after Haney’s split from ex-girlfriend Jania Meshell in the summer of 2021.
    The couple appeared to be getting serious when Love got a tattoo of Devin’s name after they had been together for a little over a year.
    But, in March 2023, Love announced that the couple were no longer together.
    Who is Devin Haney?
    Devin “The Dream” Haney is an American professional boxer.
    He was born on November 17, 1998, in San Fransisco, California, but later moved to Las Vegas with his father.
    Haney, who turned 24 in 2022, started boxing at the age of seven.

    Prograis gracious in defeat
    Regis Prograis after losing to Devin Haney: “That motherf***er’s good, he’s better than I thought he was.
    “I just couldn’t get to him. I thought he was a soft puncher, he does have power. I was down and I was like, ‘What the f*** happened?'”

    We’re heading to the final round
    Prograis looks beat up but he’s staying in the fight until the end. He’s going to need to knock out Haney if he wants to win.
    Four rounds remain
    The fight is in the ninth round and realistically, Haney could have won every round so far. It will likely take a knockout for Prograis to get a win tonight.

    Bridges will attempt to defend her IBF women’s bantamweight championship belt against Yoshida.

    Apollonia Llewellyn risks Instagram ban as ring girl goes almost completely naked in bath for very steamy snaps

    APOLLONIA LLEWELLYN’S fans now believe in Lather Christmas.Bubble bath was probably at the bottom of their Xmas list – along with socks and deodorant – until seeing the boxing ring girl’s cheekiest pics ever.

    SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PICS OF APOLLONIA
    Apollonia might even be in bubble trouble with the Instagram police due to her frothy, near-naked snaps in a tub.
    There was barely enough room to swing a rubber duck as the influencer posed in a bath brimming with white foam – matching the snowy scenes out of her window.
    The model shared what her followers called “insane” and omg unreal” photos as she gazed out over a Christmassy Lake District.
    Apollonia’s fans rated her bathing shots as picture perfect as the seasonal scenes outside.

    “A dream” and “just too beautiful” spoke for many verdicts.
    She was topless for one image, with the soapy suds tactfully protecting most of her modesty.
    And in another shot she turned her bottom to the camera as she took in a jaw-dropping vision of winter the other side of the window – wispy trees atop snow-covered undergrowth.
    She did manage to sneak on a low-plunging top grey top for the third pic as she smiled broadly.

    I’m part of the Mayweather family – people misjudge me and assume I’m arrogant because of my name

    LEGENDARY boxing trainer Jeff Mayweather says his famous family name can be both a blessing and a curse.Mayweather is the uncle of multiple world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., who has made a lucrative career thanks to his brash and braggadocious personality.

    The 59-year-old is also highly respected in the boxing fraternity as the trainer of multiple world champions, including Sultan Ibragimov, Celestino Caballero and, for a short period, Floyd Jr.
    But Mayweather says that he is often misjudged and presumed to be arrogant simply because his brother Floyd Sr. and nephew Floyd Jr. are both supremely self-confident.
    “It has its perks and bad sides,” Mayweather tells The U.S. Sun about his family name.
    “The perks are when you go to fights, you are highly respected.

    “The other side of it is a lot of times people judge you because… myself I deal with everybody the same way, I treat people how I want to be treated…
    “But the one thing is this…automatically just because you have a name [people think] it makes you arrogant. 
    “A lot of times people misjudge you and that’s happened to me. 
    “Mostly anybody in boxing who knows me knows that I am one of the nicest people you will meet in boxing.”
    Most read in Boxing
    Mayweather has been training for over 30 years and his current protégé is Joseph Brown, who had a 67-0 record as an amateur.
    He has also just signed up to be a trainer for Las Vegas Hustle in Season 2 of the upstart Team Combat League.
    TCL is boxing’s first squad-based format, consisting of six teams that compete against each other in five male weight classes and one female class.
    Matches consist of 18 three-minute rounds featuring a different fighter each round.
    “I think it’s great and it has its own lane,” Mayweather says of TCL.
    “I used to train [Las Vegas Hustle head coach and president] Dewey Cooper. He asked me if I wanted to [get involved]. 
    “Me and Dewey have a great relationship and he appreciated me…I trained him for years. 
    “I guess this was his way of saying, ‘This is something I can do for you’.”
    Mayweather is currently in tryouts for the next season of the mixed-gender league.
    “As of right now, I’m just waiting on people to show up and take a chance to make the team,” he says. 
    “They don’t have to be famous or anything like that. I’m looking for the best fighter that can fight one round!”
    Mayweather is confident that Floyd Jr. will defeat John Gotti III in an exhibition fight rematch in Las Vegas in February after their first contest ended in chaos.
    “I think the part of it being chaotic is why they are having a rematch because controversy sells,” he added. 
    “I think that is why the fight is happening again. I think the result will be the same. 
    “I think Showtime wants to have a show with that controversy that builds the fight and sells the fight.”
    Floyd Jr. is still going strong aged 46 – and Mayweather believes his famous nephew can keep competing until he is 50.
    “As long as he’s doing exhibitions, I think he can do it until he’s 50,” he said.
    “He trains extremely hard so just because of his age, it doesn’t deter his talent.

    “And he’s one of the greatest fighters in the history of boxing. 
    “He’s not going to fight a real fighter that’s active in the pros – he’s too smart for that.”

    My cousin is a Premier League legend… but I’m a world champion in a completely different sport

    FOR Jai Opetaia boxing is a family affair – but there is also a sprinkle of Premier League royalty. Undefeated cruiserweight champion Opetaia is a fourth generation fighter on his dad’s side and third on his mum’s.

    Australian football legend Tim Cahill is cousins with Jai OpetaiaCredit: Reuters
    But amazingly, he is cousins with Everton legend Tim Cahill through marriage.
    Opetaia, 28, told SunSport: “We’re not super close, I’m closer with his brothers but we’re related. We have a great bond.” 
    Cahill – capped 108 times for Australia – made his name at Goodison Park with 68 goals in his 278 appearances.
    He was also famed for his trademark celebration of boxing the corner flag – but did Opetaia inspire it?

    “Well, you could say that! But, probably not,” he joked.
    Opetaia added: “I’ve seen that a couple times. It’s really cool. But I don’t watch too much football at all.”
    The Aussie- whose grandad Billy boxed professionally – had little to no time for football or anything else for that matter while growing up in Sydney.
    He was raised in the gym and by eight he’d had his first boxing bout.
    Most read in Boxing
    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER
    Opetaia revealed: “It’s all I knew, I grew up in the gym, grew up boxing.
    “I was a little kid, swinging off the bags, hanging out in the gym and it was a matter of time till I started punching them and the rest is history.
    “I can’t remember doing anything else, I grew up fighting, I grew up boxing. I did kickboxing and just any type of contact sport.
    “But boxing was always my calling and something growing up I was always putting boxing first, training first and always had fights coming up.
    “I can’t remember ever thinking I wouldn’t make it in boxing.”
    Opetaia represented his nation as an amateur, winning medals at junior and youth level.
    He made it to the 2012 Olympics in London but was eliminated in the opening round.
    Opetaia had his first bout aged eight
    Opetaia with his ex-pro boxer grandad Billy
    By 2015, Opetaia turned professional but his big break came seven years later.
    He dethroned Mairis Briedis for the IBF and Ring Magazine belts and defended it in London against Jordan Thompson in September.
    But Opetaia’s career will get a huge boost on December 23 when he features on the mammoth Christmas cracker card in Saudi Arabia.
    He defends his titles against Ellis Zorro on the night Anthony Joshua faces Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder returns against Joseph Parker.
    Opetaia beamed: “I’m just excited to be on such a big card that the Saudis are putting on, it’s huge. 
    “It’s a huge stage for me, a big opportunity for my profile and a big opportunity for my bank account!” 
    Mairis Briedis was dethroned by OpetaiaCredit: Getty

    Opetaia has been touted to potentially move up to heavyweight in the future.
    And he shares a bill in Saudi with Daniel Dubois, Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic also in action as well as light-heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol.
    So the ambitious unbeaten star will also use the Middle Eastern outing as a scouting opportunity.
    He said: “I see myself moving up to heavyweight and fighting for world titles up there as well. 
    “Being at that press conference just looking around, I was honoured to be there but at the same time I was looking at potential opponents. 
    “Even Dmitry Bivol, respectfully I really respect Bivol as a fighter and the way he carries himself, I would be honoured to share the ring with him and fight him.

    “I think he’s got an awesome style and he’s a hard fight, which I love. I think he’s an awesome fighter. 
    “So him coming up to cruiserweight or me going up to heavyweight, it’s limitless what the future holds.”

    Amazon Prime did not bid for any rights for UK coverage of the Premier League from 2025-29 cycle, leaving Sky and TNT to dominate the scene.
    This month, however, the streaming platform is set to broadcast 20 top-flight matches before the turn of the year.
    And on Thursday, Amazon revealed they have partnered with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).
    The network will stream boxing events live from 2024 – but a tweet from the company has revealed it is still unknown what countries can view it.

    PBC was founded by Al Haymon – the former manager of Floyd Mayweather Jr – in 2015.
