Stevenson was stripped of his WBC and WBO World Super Featherweight titles after missing weight last time out against Robson Conceicao Sept. 23, 2022 at this very same venue.
Stevenson won the bout by unanimous decision, but only Conceicao was eligible to win the title. In that fight, Stevenson had a point deducted in the 9th round for unsportsmanlike conduct, but yet he still prevailed.
The 31-year-old Yoshino picked up a 6th-round knockout win over Masayoshi Nakatani at Saitama Super Arena last time out Nov. 1, 2022. This will be Yoshino's 1st fight outside of his home nation of Japan.
