Eri Matsuda (born June 6, 1994) is a Japanese professional boxer. She has held the WBA and WBO female world atomweight titles since January 2024.
Career
[edit]Unbeaten in her first four professional fights, Matsuda challenged Saemi Hanagata for the IBF female atomweight title at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan, on 18 March 2021. The contest ended in a majority draw with one ringside judge scoring it 97–93 for Matsuda while the other two ruled it a 95–95 tie.[2][3]
Hanagata have retired immediately after their fight. Matsuda had a second chance to win the now vacant IBF female atomweight crown on 25 February 2022, but lost by majority decision to Ayaka Miyao with two judges scoring the bout, which was again held at Korakuen Hall, 96–94 for her opponent and one viewing it as a 95–95 draw.[4][5][6]
Returning once more to Korakuen Hall, Matsuda won a global championship at the third attempt when she dethroned WBO and WBA female atomweight champion Yuko Kuroki via split decision on 12 January 2024. Two ringside judges favoured Matsuda 97–93 and 96–94 with the third giving the fight 96–94 for Kuroki.[7][8][9]
