 On March 13, Tokyo’s legendary Ryogoku Kokugikan arena will host a historic clash for the flyweight boxing world title.
Two of Japan’s best boxers, Kenshiro Teraji and Seigo Yuri Akui, are stepping into the ring for a mega match to unify the WBC and WBA belts. If you're a fan of technical mastery, punishing blows, and high stakes, this is the event you don’t want to miss. Although 2025 has only just begun, the two additional world title bouts on the card (plus the main event) promise to deliver one of the most thrilling nights of boxing this year. Here's everything you need to know about this showdown and the event it's headlining. The Fighters Bringing Their A-Game Kenshiro Teraji – The WBC Flyweight Champion At 33 years old, Kenshiro Teraji is the seasoned warrior bringing both experience and grit to this contest. With a remarkable record of 24 wins (15 knockouts), one draw and only one loss, Teraji is no stranger to the high-pressure moments of world championship boxing. Since moving up from light flyweight, Teraji has continued to impress. His stunning victory over Nicaragua’s Cristofer Rosales in October to claim the WBC crown was nothing short of masterful. Known for his sharp counterpunching and ability to adapt mid-fight, Teraji embodies resilience and strategy—tools he’ll undoubtedly bring into the ring against Akui. Seigo Yuri Akui – The WBA Flyweight Champion Younger and equally determined, the 29-year-old Seigo Yuri Akui holds the WBA strap and enters this unification bout with a record of 21 wins (11 knockouts), 2 losses, and 1 draw. Akui is known for his relentless energy, powerful combinations, and ability to pressure opponents into collapsing under his pace. Most recently, Akui defended his WBA title in commanding fashion against Thailand’s Thananchai Charunphak. If he can keep up the momentum, the hometown favorite could very well walk away as Japan’s new undisputed boxing king. The Venue, The Card, The Hype Taking place at Ryogoku Kokugikan, Japan’s sumo wrestling mecca turned boxing venue for the night, the atmosphere is sure to be electrifying. But what makes this event even more special? It features not one, not two, but three world title clashes. Here’s a quick look at the rest of the card:
