Ginjiro Shigeoka has undergone brain surgery after collapsing in the ring following his loss to Pedro Taduran on Saturday.

Ginjiro Shigeoka was taken out of the ring on a stretcher after collapsing at the conclusion of his IBF minimumweight title defeat by the champion Pedro Taduran at the Intex Osaka

Ginjiro Shigeoka is confident heading into his rematch with Pedro Taduran, despite the scary scenes after their first encounter last July

Heading into a rematch of one of 2024’s best fights, Pedro Taduran likes his chances of going 2-for-2 against Ginjiro Shigeoka.

How to watch the fights and what to know about their storylines.

Angelo Leo will defend against Tomoki Kameda in Leo's first fight since winning the IBF belt at 126lbs from Luis Alberto Lopez. On the undercard, strawweight titleholder Pedro Taduran will face Ginjiro Shigeoka.

Filipino southpaw Pedro Taduran captured his second world title with a surprise ninth-round victory in Japan over Ginjiro Shigeoka.

Boxing is booming in Japan. Naoya Inoue is leading the way as one of the finest fighters on the planet and 14 world titles presently reside in the land of the rising sun.

Oscar Collazo sees enough room in his year to fight the entire Shigeoka family. The trio of unbeaten titlists are part of a new wave of strawweights talented and entertaining enough to entice an audience beyond the sport’s most fervent fanbase. Puerto Rico’s Collazo holds the WBO belt, while the WBC and IBF titles belong to Yudai and Ginjiro Shigeoka, respectively.

The Shigeoka brothers will once again share the stage with Tomoki Kameda—and one another. Yudai and Ginjiro Shigeoka are set for separate strawweight title defenses on the same show, the same manner in which they won their separate belts. Both will appear on the already announced March 31 ABEMA-TV card from Nagoya International Conference Hall in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
