A while back, DEEP announced that DEEP Women's Lightweight Champ MIKU would appear on DEEP PROTECT IMPACT 22 Dec. 22 at Shinjuku FACE against an opponent to be announced. They announced today that her opponent is veteran fighter Hikaru Shinohara (pictured). That explains the delay too. Shinohara was injured in a car accident a couple of months ago and was forced to cancel an appearance on a DEEP GLOVE show. They just wanted to make sure that she was fully recovered. MIKU's record is 18-4 and her most recent win was over Misaki Takimoto at the Aug. 17 DEEP show. She also won over Shinohara on the May 15, 2005 DEEP show. Shinohara's record is 5-6 and her most recent fight was a win over Kiraan on the June 15 DEEP GLOVE show. She's on a three fight win streak. She also dabbles in pro wrestling and does a lot of modelling. I wouldn't describe her as a top contender but it should be an entertaining fight.
