By Mark Vester

Japan Today reports that Noriyuki Komatsu, 29, was found dead in the basin of a waterfall in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, in Japan on Monday evening. Police believe that Komatsu may have accidentally fallen in while engaging in ascetic training at the waterfall.

Komatsu (24-6, 10KOs) is a former OPBF flyweight champion. He was training for his May 13 bout with Daisuke Kameda, which was scheduled for the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. He was trying to revive his career after suffering a bad first round knockout to Ratanapol Sor Vorapin back in February.
