December 13th 1993-Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Jiro Watanabe (26-2, 17) Vs Katsuo Tokashiki (19-4-2, 4) With talk of exhibitions really growing, such as Novembers planned exhibition between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr, it's the perfect time to enjoy some other exhibitions.

From what we under-stand this was a charity exhibition, and the referee was also a notable former fighter, with Yoko Gushiken [具志堅 用高] being the third man in the ring.
