The women’s regular title remains vacant after judges scored the bout 97-93 for Sims, 100-90 for Patricio and 95-95.
Brittany Sims and Shera Mae Patricio fought to a 10-round split draw on 8 November at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. The result left the vacant WBA regular women’s bantamweight championship unclaimed.
Neither boxer entered as the defending regular champion. The regular title is separate from Dina Thorslund’s WBA super championship.
MiddleEasy described Patricio attacking the body while Sims answered with right hands and uppercuts. Swelling developed around Patricio’s left eye in the fourth round, attributed partly to clashes of heads; she received a head-clash warning in the sixth.
The draw ended both boxers’ winning streaks without adding a defeat to either record. Patricio remains unbeaten. Most Valuable Promotions lists their updated professional records as follows:
| Boxer | Wins-losses-draws | Knockouts or stoppages |
|---|---|---|
| Brittany Sims | 10-3-1 | five |
| Shera Mae Patricio | 10-0-1 | three |
Before the bout, Most Valuable Promotions listed Sims at 10-3 with five knockouts and credited her with nine straight professional wins, the WBA’s number-one contender position and mandatory status after she rebuilt from a 1-3 start. Patricio had won ten in a row; her promotional profile identifies her as the 2024 US Olympic Team Trials winner and says she turned professional that year.
Skye Nicolson retained her World Boxing Council super-bantamweight title in her first defense in Arlington, Texas. The World Boxing Council gave the judges’ scores as 99–91, 98–92 and 100–90.
