WBA flyweight champion Denkaosan Kaovichit of Thailand has said he is one hundred percent ready for his first title defense against Japanese challenger Hiroyuki Hisataka today.
The title fight will be held at the Central Sports Stadium in Uttaradit before what is expected to be a huge crowd.
Hours before the fight Denkaosan said he is “one hundred percent ready” both physically and mentally and vowed to give of his best to please Thai fight fans.
The Thai champion revealed he plans to his right effectively since he was trained on how to throw the punch by boxing legend Khaosai Galaxy.
Denkaosan said Khaosai has “helped me a mot this time. He thought me a v aluable technique that gave him global fame. He told me to focus on hitting the body with my right which would help me win.”
Denkaosan said he had “trained well” and had heavy sparring with three sparring partners but lessened the tough grind in the past week and only jogged. Former world champion Veeraphol Sahaprom who watched Hisataka train at his gym in Nonthaburi said the Japanese is a top challenger who cannot be underestimated.
