Comments Thread For: Fujimoto Faces Peter in Historical Japan Bout on 7/25

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Japan’s No. 1 ranked heavyweight fighter Kyotaro Fujimoto will face off against Uganda-born Okello Peter for the Japanese heavyweight crown on July 25 at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall, the East Japan Boxing Association announced Tuesday.

It will be the first match to decide a heavyweight Japan champion since Noboru Kataoka became the division’s inaugural champ in May 1957. The Japan Boxing Commission vacated the heavyweight division eight months later when no one appeared to challenge Kataoka for the title.

Kyotaro is doing okay in boxing. He should have stayed in kickboxing though where he was an arse end top ten fighter.
