Mayu Iwatani To Make First Marigold Superfly Title Defense Against Misa Matsui On 6/5, Victoria Yuzuki Vs. Seri Yamaoka For The First Time

By: Lewis Carlan

As of this writing, Mayu Iwatani has held the Marigold Superfly Championship for only eight days but she is already proving she is going to be a fighting champion. On June 6th, the Marigold BURNING DESIRE 2025 tour rolls into Shinjuku FACE as Iwatani will defend her Superfly Title for the first time against Misa Matsui in the main event of the card.

This will be Matsui’s third attempt to win the Marigold Superfly Championship. Her first opportunity for the title came on Nov. 2 2024 as she unsuccessfully challenged Natsumi Showzuki. Back on Feb. 7 2025, she had her second chance at winning the belt but was defeated by then champion Victoria Yuzuki.

Iwatani won the Superfly Title back on May 24th when she defeated Yuzuki for the belt. Less than two weeks after her title win, she is putting it on the line against the formidable challenge of Matsui.

The card on June 6th will feature a highly anticipated first time ever match as Victoria Yuzuki faces Seri Yamaoka in a singles encounter. Both competitors have been touted as the future of Joshi Puroresu and this is expected hard fought battle between the young superstars. This match could be a prelude to what we can expect between these two over the next few years. This may be the first but it’s definitely not the last bout between Yuzuki and Yamaoka. This could potentially be the feud that takes Marigold into the next decade.

In addition, Utami Hayashishita, MIRAI & Rea Seto will face Mai Sakurai, Komomo Minami & Chanyota on the June 6th card as well.
