October 23 recorded the history of Vietnam boxing when Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi won the World World World World Flyweight after 10 tense matches with the champion at that time Etsuko Tada.
This is a very sure victory that belongs to Thu Nhi, but the Japanese opponent is not satisfied with this result. The coach of Etsuko Tada, Masato Yamashita, even claims to complain to WBO.

“Nhi will not specify a name for them to challenge her,” Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi answered questions from Thethao.vn. “Any candidate wants, they can challenge.”
“However, after the day Nhi won the belt, Nhi's boss (Mr. Kim Sang Bum) told Nhi that there were two Japanese punchers who wanted to challenge Nhi to regain this belt.”
Thu Nhi did not say specifically what punchers were, but actually the candidates of this belt could also be predicted.
The first is probably the former champion of Ayaka Miyao (24-9-2, 6 KOS). She is the Atomweight WBO champion for many years before moving to the Flyweight mini class; And also once a scheduled opponent of Thu Nhi for the WBO battle.
In theory, the match between Ayaka Miyao and Thu Nhi was able to be held on February 27, 2020 in Quang Ngai if the Covid-19 translation did not take place and forced Thu Nhi's stretching plan to cancel.
After the defeat against Etsuko Tada in December 2020, Ayaka Miyao had another victory over Kaori Nagai in late September.
Another candidate may be the female boxer Mizuki Chimoto (3-0, 1 KOS). Although the achievement is small, Chimoto is being highly appreciated in the Japanese arena as “the successor” for the senior boxers like Etsuko Tada or Ayaka Miyao.
The most notable victory of Mizuki Chimoto is the latest match when she won against the former WBC champion Yuko Kuroki.
What about Etsuko Tada, the new champion lost the belt and wanted to complain?
According to Article 18 of WBO's competition, Tada will be sure to rematch with Thu Nhi if she successfully complained of the results of the last belt match and at least 75% of the WBO Council members agreed.
At that time, Thu Nhi's victory will be canceled.
In the event that Tada complained unsuccessfully (and this possibility is quite high), the opportunity for her to fight immediately with Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi is very low. The former champion will not be allowed to rematch immediately with the new champion, before Thu Nhi protects the belt with one or more boxers in the weight class.
