December 10th 1989- Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Fujio Ozaki (25-5, 16) Vs Mark Breland (25-1-1, 18) Right now we have two of the greatest amateurs, Vasyl Lomachenko and Guillermo Rigondeaux, making their names in the professional ranks. Back in the 1980's there was Mark Breland, one of the USA's greatest amateur, who was doing the same. Unlike many American's Breland was happy to travel, and went to Japan to defend his WBA Welterweight title against Fujio Ozaki in Ozaki's native Japan. For Ozaki this was his second shot at world title having previously lost to Marlon Starling, who had actually stopped Breland. |
