Yokasta Valle to Defend Her Title Against Yadira Bustillos in Miami

Costa Rican world champion Yokasta Valle will return to the ring on Friday, December 19, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where she will face Yadira Bustillos in a card broadcast by Netflix—part of the platform’s strategy to continue expanding into professional boxing. Valle’s WBC minimumweight world title will be on the line.

Valle, one of the most active figures in women’s boxing, comes in with momentum from multiple defenses and with the aim of strengthening her standing in the division. Bustillos, of Mexican descent and based in the United States, enters the biggest opportunity of her career, supported by a high-pressure style and results that earned her a mandatory challenger position.

The bout forms part of a calendar that has allowed Valle to become one of the recurring names in Latin American women’s boxing. A victory could open doors to potential unification, while a win for Bustillos would abruptly reshape the landscape of the division.
