Not according to Mia (see http://www.wban.com)

Yes Dee, apparently I have been fooled, but then so was BoxRec and others. The story may have have been started by the promoter of Duda's last bout. The WBC Female Super Lightweight title is vacant, and the WBC is holding their annual convention in Dubrovnik, Croatia from October 29th to November 4th. Duda is origionally from the former Yugoslavia, although I don't know her birth town. The rumor caught on as pausable. I should have checked with the WBC to confirm it.

I offer my appology, and the admission that I am not a trained journalist. I got two sources telling me that this fight was happening, and one was BoxRec which still lists the fight (see fighter records).

Updates: Tammy Franks 0-1 has been named as Miriam Nakamoto's 2-1 (1) opponent on the Irvine, California Card tommorrow (Oct. 26). Dominga Olivo 1-0 has been named as Tiffany Junot's (1-0 (1) opponent on Saturday's (Oct. 28) card in Kinder, Louisiana. Also Saturday, on the Palm Beach, Florida card: Mirianne Chubirka 3-4 (2) vs Dawn Parker 0-5 in a flyweight bout. And Friday, in Raliegh, North Carolina: 39 year old Bonnie Mann 9-7 (3) returns to the ring after an 18 month hiatus to fight TBA in a middleweight bout.

By the way, BoxRec still list Duda and Mia to fight each other on October 31st. No one else is listed to fight in Debrovnik that day so if Mia is not participating, I have no idea who Yankovich plans to fight, or if indeed there is even a card that day.

BoxRec finally removed the St. John - Yankovich bout from their record of upcoming fights.

Updates!!!! Friday, Oct 27. In Mexico, Ana Aprazola's 3-0-1-1 (2) opponent was named as Maria Euginia Garcia 0-1 in their light flyweight 4. Saturday, Oct. 28, also in Mexico, Zulina Munoz's 10-0 (9) opponent was named as Magdalena Leija 0-1. It is only scheduled for 8 rounds and not for the NABF Bantam Title. (My guess is that it will not go eight rounds.) I guess the promoter couldn't find anyone that even the NABF would sanction, and they have been pretty lax in past title bouts

That's because it already happened, Herrmann won by UD 6.
