Miyo Yoshida and Casey Morton will battle for the vacant WBO title!
Super Flyweight Casey “Lady Hawaiian Punch” Morton (8-1-3, 1 KO) of San Francisco, California, will look to win her first world title as she faces Miyo Yoshida (12-1) for the vacant WBO super flyweight world title at Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan on June 19, 2019.
Morton, a decorated amateur, is now looking to make her dream a reality as she seeks her first world title. In her last fight she was victorious against Chie Higano, a fight that took place in the Philippines.
“It is a dream come true to fight for a world title.
“I am very grateful to everyone who has supported me, but I couldn’t have done it without the help of Victor Conte and SNAC System, which has helped my career greatly.
“I am also thankful for my coach Nonito Donaire Sr., and my manager Greg Hannley. I am excited to show the world my skills on June 19th.”
“Fighting in Japan is great. “I have been fighting in China and the Philippines for the last two years and it has been a wonderful experience.
“I am so eternally grateful and thankful to have this opportunity in my career.”
