 This coming Saturday is a huge day of action globally, and whilst much of the attention will be elsewhere, there is still some noteworthy Asian action, including two title bouts in Tokyo, a small card in Osaka and an even smaller show in Incheon.
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan The main card for Asian interest takes place at Korakuen Hall and features two rematches, for titles, along with a former Japanese champion looking to get back to winning ways against a promising unbeaten fighter looking for their career best win. The main event of the show will see the once beaten Jukiya Iimura (8-1, 2) look to make his first defense of the OPBF Flyweight title, as he takes on Filipino challenger Esneth Domingo (21-2, 13), the man who gave Iimura his sole loss, in what is not just an OPBF title fight but also, essentially, a world title eliminator. Iimura was 3-0 when he ran into Domingo for the first time, and was stopped in 6 rounds, in his next fight Iimura claimed the Japanese title, with a win over Josuke Nagata, and recorded 3 defenses before claiming the OPBF title in December. He’s a talented fighter, but very much a skilled one, without much in terms of power, and someone who can get dragged into the wrong type of fight. As for Domingo, the hard hitting Filipino has gone 4-0 (4) since beating Iimura, including a win in Japan over Kosuke Tomioka. Whilst his record might not show him to be a big puncher he now has 5 straight KO’s since his 2022 loss to Nhlanhla Tyirha and it appears the now 26 year old has started to believe in his own power, something that makes him very dangerous at this level. The other rematch will see Yudai Murakami (6-2) and Shuma Nakazato (15-3-3, 8) face off for the vacant Japanese Lightweight title, which was recently vacated by Hironori Mishiro after 2 successful defences. Nakazato and Murakami clashed in late 2023, with Nakazato taking a clear decision over Murakami to score his one, and only, successful defence of the Japanese title. Since their first bout Nakazato has gone 1-1, losing to Hironori Mishiro just over a year ago before beating Cristiano Aoqui in November. As for Murakami he is 2-0 since that loss, beating Hiro Ichimichi and Hiromasa Urakawa. Sadly for Murakami he lacks power and over 10 rounds that is a major issue against someone like Nakazato, who has solid and respectable pop, and solid boxing skills to go with his power. Hard to see revenge here, but the bout should be high level throughout. Whilst the other two bouts will be good high level boxing, with one guy who can bang a bit against someone who needs to walk something of a tightrope, the main under-card bout will see a monster puncher take on a very rugged and unbeaten fighter. That bout will see former Japanese 140lb champion Homura Fujita (12-2, 10) take on the unbeaten Eikichi Kawamura (5-0-1, 3) in a brilliant clash of styles. Fujita is a heavy handed puncher, who’s boxing has improved a lot in recent years, but is still more a puncher than a boxer, and that was shown in his title loss to Kuntae Lee, who showed Fujita what boxing was about. He’s still a work in progress, but at this level Fujita is very dangerous. As for Kawamura, he’s an aggressive, rugged, tough, strong type, who comes to fight, and force fighters to stand with him. Kawamura’s most notable result is a draw with former world title challenger Akihiro Kondo, and that bout, despite being a draw, will have instilled a confidence with him that he’ll look to build on here. Expected this one to be thrilling, violent, and explosive, with both men looking to not just win, but break down their foe. Yodogawa Ward Center, Osaka, Osaka, Japan The other Japanese show, from Osaka, will be mostly 4 rounders, with the one exception being a 6 rounder between Masaki Kimura (4-2, 1) and Daigo Mori (5-5-1, 2). With a 4-2 record, Kimura will likely be the easy pick on paper, however the 32 year old southpaw has lost 2 of his last 4 and is 2-1 since turning to the sport in 2024, after almost a decade away. Given his age, inactivity, and recent results, it's hard to feel confident in him putting it together here. As for Mori the 26 year old has won his last 2 bouts, following a 0-4 run of fights between 2022 and 2024, and will feel he has some momentum coming into this. This is low level stuff, but should be entertaining for fans in attendance. Nova Boxing Gymnasium, Incheon, South Korea A similar show, albeit a Korean one, to the Osaka card will take place in Incheon, where much of the card is again low level. On paper the most interesting bout on the card is a 6 rounder between Nam Joo Kim (3-3) and Jong Hwa Yoo (2-3-1, 1), who we suspect will put on a show. Neither man is going place, with both having lost 50% of their career bouts and neither having much in terms of power, but both will feel they have a chance to pick up a win here, and will likely put it all on the line for the win. Notably Yoo has lost his last 3 and the 29 year old is almost 5 years removed from his last win, whilst Kim has won his last 3, following a 0-3 start to his career, and definitely seems to have the momentum rolling into this bout.

 Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
This coming Saturday we get the first Dynamic Glove show of the year, and it’s a great one, with 3 regional title bouts and the next bout of a fast rising prospect that some in Japan are viewing as a major part of the future of Japanese boxing. In the main event we’ll see the hard hitting and really promising Mikito Nakano (11-0, 10) look to make his first defense of the OPBF Featherweight title, as he takes on fellow Japanese fighter Hiroki Hanabusa (13-3-5, 5). The 29 year old Nakano has long been viewed as a potential star for Teiken, but it took him almost 6 years to win his first title, which he did last year when he stopped Bryx Piala in 4 rounds for the OPBF title. Given his undeniable ability it does feel like he’s been moved a bit too slowly, but if he’s busy this year he could well be knocking on the door of a world title. He’s talented, heavy handed, quick, and seems to have it all, other than a real breakout win, which he will hope to get in 20025. As for Hanabusa he's an upset minded fighter who has got some really good domestic wins under his belt, against Kyonosuke Kameda and Kai Watanabe, and he has never lost at Featherweight, with losses at Super Bantamweight and Super Featherweight. Hanabusa is tough and interestingly he will be Nakano’s first Japanese opponent since December 2020, the only time Nakano has gone the distance, when he faced Ruito Saeki. In a Flyweight title bout Jukiya Iimura (7-1, 2) will face Filipino fighter Lorenz Dumam-ag (10-0-1, 7) in a fight for the vacant OPBF Flyweight title. Coming into this Iimura is the Japanese national champion and he has rebuilt excellently since a 2022 loss to Esneth Domingo, in his only previous bout against a Filipino, winning 4 in a row which has seen him win the Japanese title, and run up 3 defenses of the title. In the ring Iimura tends to be in good fights, partly relying on his amateur boxing skills, and partly hamstrung by his lack of power, which tends to see him getting dragged into fun fights, with his bout against Yuga Inoue being a sensational fight. As for the Filipino, Dumam-ag is flawed, but has got real power and goes by the nickname “Shotgun”. He has taken 4 unbeaten records in his last 5 bouts, and is best known for his controversial win over Ramel Macado Jr, where the time keeper messed up failing to ring the bell after 3 minutes after the first round. If he can drag Iimura into a firefight he has a real chance here to claim his biggest win to date Nakano isn’t the only regional Featherweight champion defending his title, as stablemate Kenji Fujita (7-0, 3) makes his second defense of the WBO Asia Pacific title and takes on hard hitting Filipino Michael Casama (10-2-1, 10). The talented Fujita was a stellar amateur, and his talent is undeniable, but his ability to reach the top as a professional does seem limited, with the 30 year old Southpaw lacking the time and power to make a mark at the elite level of the professional ranks. Despite that he is talented, and he can certainly box, and we wouldn’t be surprised by him having a long reign as a regional champion. As for Casama, the Filipino is dangerous, as he showed last time out, when he upset the much fancied Kota Kaneko in 125 seconds, but he does struggle when taken rounds, as seen in losses to Pablito Canada and Junya Shimada. If Fujita can see out the early storm that Casama brings to the table, he should have the tools to take a clear decision win. Also on this show is fast rising Japanese teenager Sento Ito (2-0, 2), who debuted as a professional in April 2024 and will seek his third win in 9 months as he takes on Filipino Alvin Camique (9-3, 4). Ito, who fights around Bantamweight, looks to be a fantastic prospect, he blew out Yotin Thongkhan on debut, in 55 seconds, then showed he had plenty of stamina as he broke down the teak tough Guangheng Luan in 8 rounds 5 months later. This is a genuine step up with Camique having never been stopped, and being upset minded, as seen in his 2023 win over the then 8-0 John Vincent Pangga and his 2024 win over Ben Ligas. Notably he was beaten last time in Japan, when he lost to Ryo Mandokoro, but was competitive and should serve as a real test for Ito.  There is action across Asia this coming Saturday, though the two most noteworthy shows for the day both take place in Japan, and both feature title bouts.
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan The more notable of the two shows comes from Tokyo, where we get two title bouts, and the next bout in the career of an exciting and hard hitting young Japanese prospect. The main event will see Japanese Flyweight champion Jukiya Iimura (5-1, 1) make his second defense, as he takes on mandatory challenger Yuga Inoue (15-3-1, 3), in what is almost certainly going to be a high speed technical chess match. Iimura is a brilliant technical boxer, but he has shown some durability issues, as seen in his 2022 loss to Esneth Domingo, and if he gets tagged he could be in trouble. Matched against a fellow light puncher, such as Inoue, he won't need to worry much about his chin. Saying that however Inoue is known to drag fights into wars, and although he lacks power he doesn't mind fights being up close, as he loves to set a high tempo up close. If Inoue can cut the ring off he could be a really tough test for Iimura, however that’s a big if. The chief support bout here will see WBO Asia Pacific Super Flyweight champion Kenta Nakagawa (24-4-1, 12) defending his title against Tetsuro Ohashi (11-3-1, 2), who has stated that he is dedicating the bout to the recently deceased Kazuki Anaguchi who he described as his best friend. The 38 year old Nakagawa will be looking for his second defense of the title, and whilst no world beater he is a solid, and experienced all rounder, who has good skills, decent pop and good speed. He is however a man who has, in recent fights, started to look his age a little and father time will catch up with him shortly. As for Ohashi he is a skilled fighter, but he lacks pop and will struggle to get Nakagawa's respect here. Despite that he has a good work rate and good speed, and could be looking to rely on his youth against the much, much, older champion. The other bout of note on this card will see hard hitting youngster Kakeru Mashimo (7-0, 6), regarded by some as a future long term fixture of the Dynamic Glove series, taking on Indian visitor Dharmender (10-3, 6). Mashimo is aggressive, heavy handed, really exciting and one to keep an eye on with his aggressive mentality and style. Sadly Dharmender isn’t likely to ask any real questions of Mashimo, especially when you consider the only previous time he has fought outside of India, Dharmender was stopped in 6 rounds by Sathaporn Saart. Dhamender has fought at Featherweight, and might show some resistance, but it would be a huge surprise to see him last the 8 round distance here. Sangyo Shinko Center, Sakai, Osaka, Japan The other Japanese card is in Osaka and sees veterans colliding in the main event, a potentially explosive support bout, and a notable prospect in action. The main event of the card will see 46 year old Japanese veteran Yuki Nonaka (37-12-3, 11) take on 50 year old Australian Sam Soliman (49-18-1-2, 19) in a bout for the vacant OPBF Super Middleweight title. Soliman is a late replacement, after Rohan Murdock had to pull out, and on paper added a bit of extra star power for the bout, though Soliman is much faded from the man who once held the IBF Middleweight title. Nonaka has rebuilt well following back to back losses to Hiroya Nojima and Tyson Koki, and has won his last 2 bouts whilst settling at Super Middleweight, but given his lack of power, and his age, he will find it very, very hard to progress beyond the regional scene. As for Soliman, the wild and unorthodox Aussie has always kept himself in great shape, and will see this as a great chance to end his career with another title around his waist. At a combined age of 96 it’s hard to know what either man will do after this bout, but from a stylistic view, this should be really interesting, with Nonaka being a crisp, clean puncher, who sets himself and throws lovely technical shots, and Soliman really having a wild, crazy style, that lacks in terms of technical foundations and makes for some messy and wild fights. In a major supporting bout we’ll see Kyonosuke Kameda (11-3-2, 8) take on Ryukyu Oho (9-6-1, 5) in what should be a very fun, and potentially explosive clash. Kameda is always fun to watch, and win or lose he does make for good fights with his technical limitations masked by his size and power. Oho is better than his record suggests sadly for him however he has gone 2-2-1 in his last 5, and only has a single TKO win since 2021. If Oho can't make Kameda respect him, he could be in for a painful night here. A third bout worthy of attention here will see 19 year old Japanese prospect Shuri Oka (2-0, 1) look for his third win, as he takes on 17 year old Thai visitor Chanathip Khotchai (3-2, 2) in a scheduled 8 rounder. Despite only being 19 Suri is certainly one to keep an eye on, though we do hope he isn’t rushed too much as there is still a lot of work to do with him and given his age, and the fact he’s still maturing, there really is no need to race him into domestic or regional title fights. As for the visitor he has lost his last two, and actually had his unbeaten record ended last time he fought in Japan, when he was stopped in 2 rounds by Tomonori Nagao. Batangas City Coliseum, Batangas City, Batangas, Philippines Over in the Philippines we’re set for some low profile cards, one of which is in Batangas. The show really is a low profile one, and the best looking matchup set for the show will see the once beaten Leboy Atencio (3-1) take on Reynald Condes (3-3-1, 1). On paper this doesn’t look like a great bout, and with neither man having much power, it’s fair to suggest this may not end up being particularly exciting, or dramatic. Toledo City, Cebu, Philippines A second low level Filipino card is set for Toledo City. The only bout on the boxrec schedule at the time of writing is a matchup between the once beaten Jusue Bastillada (6-1, 3) and glass cannon Jayar Aliasot (6-6, 5). On paper this doesn’t look great, but it looks even worse when you realise that Aliasot has lost his last 5, with 4 of those losses being by TKO. Interestingly Bastillada’s sole loss was by stoppage, and given that Aliasot has power he could spring the upset here, but he will clearly be the under-dog. Hannam Gymnasium, Seoul, South Korea Staying with low level cards, we’re also expecting one in Seoul, in what is very much a novice show. Almost all the bouts feature a debutant, with the only exception to that being a clash between Sang Myung Lee (1-0) and Dae Yub Jang (2-0, 2), who face off a Super Featherweight. Lee is 23 and debuted in January, with a 4 round win, whilst Jang is 24 and made his debut just over a year ago, with both of his wins so far being TKO3. against win-less fighters.  Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
This coming Thursday we turn our attention to Korakeun Hall for a mouth watering card from Dangan. The show is headlined by a Japanese title fight, and also features two very solid under-card bouts. The main event of the show will see Japanese Bantamweight champion Seiya Tsutsumi (6-0-2, 5) make his first defense, as he takes on Kenshin Oshima (7-2-1, 3). The hard hitting Tsutsumi won the title earlier this year, when he stopped Kyosuke Sawada, finally getting a big win after controversial draws against Kazuki Nakajima and Daigo Higa. The hope for him is that he can retain his title here and move on to bigger and better things, including potential regional title fights or even world title bouts, further down the line. As for Oshima this is his second shot at the "cursed title", following a technical decision loss to Sawada for the belt back in February. Oshima is a talented fighter, and does have good technical skills, though he can be made to look wild at times and we do wonder whether he has the power needed to get Tsutusmi's respect. Our preview of this bout can be read here Japanese champion Tsutusmi faces Oshima in first defense In a solid supporting bout the hard hitting Jin Minamide (6-2, 5) will face off with Yuki Yonaha (12-3-1, 8), in what is a very competitive looking match up and a Japanese title eliminator, with the winner set to face the winner of the main event next year. Heading into the bout Minamide is ranked #1 by the JBC and is coming in to the bout on the back of TKO wins over Kiyohei Endo and Takeshi Takehara. Despite those wins it is worth noting he has been stopped twice. Yonaha on the other hand is ranked #2 by the JBC and is unbeaten in his last 6, with notable wins against Shota Kawaguchi and Motoki Osanai. He has momentum and form coming into this, but he was stopped the last time he was in with an aggressive puncher, though that was way back in 2016. Another great supporting bout will see fast rising Japanese hopeful Jukiya Iimura (3-0, 1) take on Filipino visitor Esneth Domingo (16-2, 8), in a solid step up for the unbeaten Japanese youngster. Coming in to the bout Iimura looks to be a very skilled fighter, but one who does need to have a still test before moving towards regional title fights. Whilst Domingo isn't an OPBF title level fighter, he isn't far from that level and he should serve as something of a gatekeeper to that level. A win for Iimura is likely to see him move into title bouts within 2 or 3 fights, but this is certainly not a gimmie  EDION Arena Osaka, Osaka, Osaka, Japan
The most notable show this coming takes place in Osaka, as Green Tsuda put on a very interesting card featuring a number of promising young prospects. The most notable bout on the card will see 4-time world title challenger Hiroyuki Kudaka (27-19-4, 11) take on the fast rising, and very promising Ryusei Kawaura (9-0, 6), in what is a huge step up in class for Kawaura. The 36 year old Kudaka has a staggering 50 bouts to his name, including bouts against the likes of Takefumi Sakata, Denkaosan Kaovichit, Hugo Fidel Cazares, Oleydong Sithsamerchai, Sonny Boy Jaro and Andres Omar Narvaez and whilst he has come up short at world level he is an experience, exciting and tough warrior who always gives his all. Kawaura on the other hand is a skilled boxer-mover, who has been developed under the eye of former world champion Hiroshi Kawashima, who sees Kawaura as his successor. This will be the pressure and aggression of Kudaka against the boxing, movement and defensive skills of Kawaura. Former Japanese Super Flyweight champion Takayuki Okumoto (24-10-4, 11) will serve as a major test as he takes on takes on talented youngster Jukiya Iimura (2-0, 1), who is taking a huge leap up in class. The 30 year old Okumoto won the Japanese title in 2018, when he beat the aforementioned Kudaka, and made 3 defenses before losing the belt in late 2019. Since losing the title he hasn't looked particularly good, but he'll feel his experience will be the difference maker here. Iimura has impressed since turning professional, and was a very talented amateur, but this is a massive leap up in class for a 23 year old in just his third professional bout. Saying that however, if Iimura wins he could find himself in the domestic title picture next year. The third bout of interest on this card will see unbeaten fighters collide as Takafumi Shibata (1-0) takes on Reiji Kodama (3-0, 1). Shibata was a former amateur standout, who is tipped for big things in the coming years, however there are question marks about his power and his size, especially at 140lbs which seems likely to be the weigh he's competing at going forward. Kodama on the other hand turned professional without much fan fare and scored a very solid win over the debuting Shota Fukumori in August, with Fukumori having been a good amateur. This is a great chance for Kodama to get his second win over a decent or a chance for Shibata to show what he can do against someone who has shown himself to be a very capable fighter. Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, India As well as the action in Japan there will also be two cards in India. One of those takes place in Hyderbad and is the more notable of the two, though is a show that is rescheduled from November 28th That main event will see unbeaten Indian hopeful Karthik Sathish Kumar (7-0, 3) look to win the WBC Asian Boxing Council Silver Lightweight title as he takes on Indonesian veteran Hero Tito (29-15-2, 11), who will be having his 47th bout. Kumar will be favoured, after all he's at home, he's unbeaten and he's the younger man, though this is a massive leap up in class for him, and his competition so far has been novices and very limited fighters. Tito on the other hand is no world beater, but he can notch the odd upset, as we saw in April when he beat countryman Hebi Marapu. If Tito is hungry he could well pick up his 30th professional win here, and score 3 wins in a row for the first time since 2013! KLVSP Boxing Hall, Pune, India The second Indian card comes from Pune, and is a show that is set to feature 8 bouts in total, with 12 of the fighters on the show being debutants. Sadly little really is known about any of the fighters on this card, though all the bouts on it are 4 rounders.  Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
Action returns to Korakuen Hall this coming Monday for the next show from Dangan. This isn't a particularly big show but it is one worthy of some interest with a title fight headlining the event and several interesting bouts featuring debutants. The main event will see triple crown champion Ryoji Fukunaga (13-4, 13) defending his WBO Asia Pacific and Japanese Super Flyweight titles against the unheralded Takahiro Fujii (12-6-1, 3), who is stepping up massively here. The heavy handed Fukunaga had a brilliant 2020, with wins over Froilan Saludar and Kenta Nakagawa, but both of those bouts were punishing wars and it's probably a good thing that he's being matched a little bit more lightly here than we've seen for his last two bouts. Fujii really is a very limited, domestic level fighter and shouldn't pose too much if a threat to the champion, but it's a huge opportunity for him, and likely to be his only fight at this level. We expect Fujii to be hungry, fight to win, but then be broken down by the heavy hands of the champion. Our full preview of this bout can be read here Fukunaga defends two titles as he takes on Fujii! In a brilliant chief support bout we'll see Jukiya Iimura (1-0, 1) take on Tomoki Kawasaki (0-0), in what we believe is the third of fourth date set for this fight. Iimura really impressed in his debut, back in January and we've been desperate to see him back in action. He looked really explosive, exciting and heavy handed in that bout and oozed charisma. Kawasaki on the other hand was a very decent amateur and will come into this bout with hunger to make a statement and shine in his first pro bout. These are the type of bouts that Japan gives us regularly, and others don't. Two young, talented, good amateurs facing off early in their careers, taking a risk and knowing that they can prove how good they are without waiting years. Something w would love to see in the UK and US. Another debutant going in rather hard here is former amateur fighter Josuke Nagata (0-0), who went 38-20 in the unpaid ranks. Whilst not a stellar record he looked the part in the unpaid ranks and we're excited to see what he's going to do in the pros. He'll be up against the relatively decent Koji Tsurumi (5-3-1, 2), who comes into this bout on the back of an excellent win over the then debut Yugo Kon in January. Although his record looks poor Tsurumi is unbeaten in his last 3 and has shown some genuine ability, with wins against Kon, Kazusa Arai and Shion Yokoyama. This might look like a gimme for Nagata, but it's not and we expect him to be given a genuine test here.  Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
We get the first live televised Japanese card of the year this coming Saturday, though it's a relatively small show from Kadoebi with the focus more on debutants than established names, with one very clear exception. The one exception on the card will see OPBF Welterweight champion Riku Nagahama (12-2-1, 4) make his first defense of the title he won back in February 2020, as he takes on Ryota Toyoshima (12-2-1, 8) in a very interesting looking match up. The talented Nagahama has bounced back well from stoppage losses to Takeshi Inoue and Yuki Nagano, and is currently riding a 4 fight winning streak, including his title winning bout against Kudura Kaneko last year. Despite that run he still has question marks over his toughness and his chin. Toyoshima on the other hand is unbeaten since a 2017 loss to Masaharu Kaito, who also gave him his first loss way back in 2015. The challenger has won his last 5 and certainly enters the bout as the puncher, but a win here would be his most meaningful by far. Our preview of this bout can be read here Potential thriller as OPBF champion Nagahama takes on Toyoshima! In the middle of the card is another bout between two men with some experience as Japanese ranked Super Flyweights Chikato Sumida (9-3, 1) and Ken Achiwa (12-15-5, 4) clash in an 8 rounder at Bantamweight. Coming into this the 27 year old Shumida has won 5 of his last 6, and will know another win will continue to move him towards a title bout. On the other hand the 34 year old Achiwa has only scored a single win in his last 6, though he is much better than his record suggests and should give Sumida a bit of a test here. Most of the card here is based around introducing some Kadoebi promoted novices, who will make their debuts. One of those is Flyweight hopeful Jukiya Iimura (0-0), who went an excellent 68-13 in the amateurs. He’s being matched in a 6 rounder against 36 year old Daisuke Yamada (6-5, 1), who reached the East Japan Rookie of the Year final, back in 2016 when he was then blasted out in a round by Junto Nakatani. We suspect Iimura will have too much for Yamada, though it’s nice to see him making his debut in a 6 rounder. Another of the debutants, this time at Super Bantamweight, will be Jun Ikegawa (0-0) who takes on Kakeru Yoshikawa (4-1-2) in a tough looking debut. As an amateur Ikegawa went 51-15 and was a very solid amateur in the Kansai League, where he made his name as a talented southpaw. The 23 year old Yoshikawa has gone unbeaten in his last 4, and is unbeaten since July 2017. Notably he enters this bout following back to back draws in 6 rounders, and may well have the stamina and experience to ask real questions of Ikegawa. Another of the debutants is 21 year old Yugo Kon (0-0), who notched a 23-11 amateur record during his relatively short career in the unpaid ranks. He’s been matched with Koji Tsurumi (4-3-1, 1) in a 6 round bout at a contracted 54.5KG’s (just over 120lbs). Kon wasn’t the deeply experienced amateur that some of the others on this card were, but he seems to be incredibly hungry to prove a point and we suspect he could end up being moved relatively quickly over the next few years. Although his record might not show it, Tsurumi is going to be in a confident mood here, having taken the unbeaten record of Shion Yokoyama 2 bouts ago, and scoring a draw with the aforementioned Kakeru Yoshikawa. In an all debutant bout Kadoebi fighter Yudai Murakami (0-0) will be taking on Naoki Shimizu (0-0) from the MT Gym, in a 4 rounder at Lightweight. Murakami went 29-6 in the amateurs, and does have some hype behind him as he begins his career. Reportedly Shimizu went 14-7 in the amateurs, and will be regarded as the under-dog here in what will be the opening bout of the show. |
