Takashi Uchiyama headlines his fourth consecutive New Year's Eve bash, this one marking his ring return following a one-year hiatus. The unbeaten super featherweight titlist puts his belt on the line against Argentina's Israel Perez atop a loaded fight card Wednesday evening at Ota-City Central Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
Both fighters made weight for the scheduled 12-round headliner, which airs live on TV Tokyo in Japan and TyC Sports in Argentina and the United States (for those whose cable/satellite provider carries the channel).
Uchiyama (21-0-1, 17KOs) came in at 129¾ lb. for the ninth defense of a title reign that - if successful on Wednesday - will hit five years come January. His last title defense came exactly one year ago, climbing off the canvas late in the fight to score a wide decision win over Daiki Kaneko. [Click Here To Read More]
