July 18th 2014- Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Gakuya Furuhashi (16-5, 6) Vs Akihiko Katagiri (14-7-2, 5) Last July we had hoped to see Gakuya Furuhashi battle against Hidenori Otake in a Japanese Super Bantamweight title fight. Unfortunately Otake suffered a rib injury that forced that bout to be cancelled however Furuhashi stilled appeared on the show as he sparred with Akihiko Katagiri instead. Here is the footage of that sparring session which took place the the Korakuen Hall *Notes-At the time of this public sparring sessions Furuhashi went by the name "Daisuke Furuhashi" (Video courtesy of YUforSKB)
