Tomoko Okuda

(born 21 April 1983) is a Japanese professional boxer who held the WBO female junior-bantamweight title from December 2020 until June 2021. At regional level she held the OPBF and Japanese female bantamweight titles in 2020.

Professional career After compiling a record of 6–2–2 (1 KO), Okuda challenged WBO female junior-bantamweight champion Miyo Yoshida at the EDION Arena in Osaka on 13 December 2020. She suffered a cut above her right eye in the fifth round due to an accidental clash of heads. After the cut worsened in the sixth round, the referee called a halt to the contest, forcing the decision to rely on the judges' scorecards. Two judges scored the bout 59–54 and the third scored it 57–56, all in favour of Okuda, handing her the win, and the title, via technical decision. A rematch took place at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on 29 June 2021 with Okuda losing by split decision. Two judges scored the fight 96–94 for Yoshida, while the third had it 96–94 for Okuda.
