IBF bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges (9-1) will look to record the second defence of her world title when she faces Japan's Miyo Yoshida (16-4) in San Francisco on December 9 (Dec. 10 in Australia).
Bridges versus Yoshida will feature on the undercard to the WBC super lightweight title bout between Devin Haney and champion Regis Prograis.
It will be Bridges' first bout since she stopped Shannon O'Connell in the eighth round last December.

Bridges, who now lives and trains in the UK, suffered an injury requiring surgery to her hand in that victory over O'Connell, forcing her into an extended layoff.
Now back in full training, the 37-year-old will be looking to make up for lost time in her first fight in the US since early 2020.
She was originally locked in to face countrywoman Avril Mathie before an injury forced the Miami-based Mathie out, seeing Yoshida get the late-notice call up, first reported by Chris Mannix.

A former WBO champion at super flyweight, Yoshida is coming off a loss to Shurretta Metcalf and has dropped three of her last five.

Bridges will be joined by another Australian on the card, with undefeated super lightweight contender Liam Paro facing Montana Love.
Paro hasn't fought since knocking Brock Jarvis out in the first round just over a year ago, having had a frustrating run of injuries which saw him pull out of bouts with Robbie Davies Jnr and Prograis, for the latter's world title.
