    A new Japanese fighter to keep an eye on

    Whilst everyone is talking about Vasyl Lomachenko fighting Jose Ramirez (#7 WBO Featherweight) on his debut, a Japanese youngster is attempting to go one better.

    The 18 year old Kosei Tanaka will be making his debut on November 10th, he's scheduled to take on Indonesia Oscar Raknafa (#6 WBO Minimumweight).

    Could be well worth taking a note of Kosei Tanaka's name, as it appears his team will be fast tracking him like Ohashi Gym did with Naoya Inoue and Ioka Gym did with Kazuto Ioka.

    It's not that hard to be ranked at minimum-weight though.

    Anyway i'll keep an eye out for him.

      Did read from a guy who saw his test bout that he was "very impressive" so I'll be watching out for him, always fun to see these Japanese kids climb up the rankings in double quick fashion

            I like that one dude Uchiyama. Serious power. Want to see him in there with Mikey or Argenis Mendez.

            Shut the **** up with who you'd think would win, nobody asked for your opinion.

                  Naoya's brother makes his pro debut on December 6th. The 17 year old Takuma Inoue is tipped as another fantastic prospect and they were joking about him trying to claim a Japanese title in his third fight.
