The official weigh-in for Thursday night’s Women’s World Minimumweight championship unification clash between current IBF world champion Yokasta Valle and current WBO world champion Thi Thu Nhi Nguyen took place earlier today in San Jose, Costa Rica. The unification bout, the first of three unification bouts to be held this week throughout Women’s Boxing will headline a Golden Boy Promotions promoted card from the Cuidad Deportiva Heiner Ugalde and can be seen globally on digital subscription sports streaming network DAZN.
The Minimumweight limit for the bout is 105lbs. Both world champions Valle and Nguyen weighed in officially at 104lbs. Valle will have a hometown advantage in Costa Rica and will be making the sixth defense of the IBF world championship she won in August 2019 with a ten round split decision over Joana Pastrana.
