Hiroto Kyoguchi: record, next fight and profile →
Hiroto Kyoguchi and Esteban Bermudez have finally come to an agreement. A negotiation period that has extended more than five months has produced a deal in place for the World Boxing Association (WBA)-ordered junior flyweight title consolidation clash. The Panama City-headquartered sanctioning body confirmed the news Friday, hours ahead of a previously scheduled purse bid hearing.
The time has come for Hiroto Kyoguchi and Esteban Bermudez to face the music. A purse bid hearing has been scheduled to determine promotional rights for the World Boxing Association (WBA) junior flyweight title fight that was first ordered nearly five months ago. The sanctioning body announced a November 12 date set aside for the bout following the latest deadline expiring without a deal in place.
Hiroto Kyoguchi and Esteban Bermudez still have work to do and now with a firm deadline to help speed up the process. A title consolidation bout between the pair of junior flyweights was re-ordered by the World Boxing Association (WBA) on Thursday. The instance marks the third time that the two sides have been called to make a deal, this time with a final ten-day deadline in place before heading to a purse bid hearing.
The announcement of a forthcoming WBA junior flyweight title fight caught many in the industry by surprise. Including the WBA. Matchroom Boxing revealed elements of its upcoming fall schedule on DAZN. Included among the lot was an October 16 show topped by former four-division titlist Mikey Garcia in a showdown with Spain’s Sandor Martin. The press release also specified two junior flyweight title fights, including a clash between WBA “World” titlist Esteban Bermudez (14-3-2, 10KOs) and unbeaten contender Jesse ’Bam' Rodriguez (13-0, 9KOs).
Hiroto Kyoguchi will have a little more time to work out terms for his next ordered title defense. The reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) “Super” junior flyweight titlist has been granted a ten-day extension to come to an agreement for a title consolidation clash with Mexico’s Esteban Bermudez, the sanctioning body announced on Wednesday. The deadline had already expired without an agreement in place, though it was decided that additional time would help get this fight over the line.
Try explaining to Esteban Bermudez that belts don’t matter. The recently crowned secondary WBA junior flyweight titlist has a golden opportunity to upgrade his title reign. The WBA ordered a title consolidation clash between Mexico’s Bermudez and Japan’s Hiroto Kyoguchi, the current WBA “Super” junior flyweight champion who is now on the hook to honor an overdue mandatory title defense obligation. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that the bout was officially ordered on Thursday, with the two sides given until July 11 to reach a deal before being subject to a purse bid hearing.
Axel Aragon Vega gave Hiroto Kyoguchi fits for four-plus rounds Saturday night in Dallas. The determined Mexican contender couldn’t continue in the fifth round, though, because he hurt his right hand. Vega landed a punch to the side of Kyoguchi’s head, which caused Vega, writhing in pain, to turn his back on Kyoguchi.
One of the most anticipated fights of 2021 is officially on. Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada made weight Friday afternoon for their 115-pound title unification fight Saturday night in Dallas. Their 12-round rematch for Gonzalez’s WBA and Estrada’s WBC super flyweight titles will headline DAZN’s stream from American Airlines Center (8 p.m. ET).
Hiroto Kyoguchi says he wants to dominate the Light-Flyweight division as he defends his WBA and Ring Magazine World titles against Axel Vega on Saturday night at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, live worldwide on DAZN (except Latin America).
World champions Naoya Inoue and Hiroto Kyoguchi will star in a charity event called “Legend”, to be held on February 11, in Tokyo, Japan. The two fighters will join other great Japanese boxers, who will perform different exhibition bouts for different causes in the Asian country.
