Nasukawa to make debut against with Japan’s 4th best hitter

  • Tenshin Nasukawa will make his debut as a professional boxer. Tenshin Nasukawa has won all 42 of his kickboxing fights (28 KOs) and is well known for his strength. Last year, he announced his transition from kickboxing to boxing and has been preparing for his debut by training intensively in the United States in the fall. In addition to his kickboxing, Nasukawa has been able to score a mountain of KOs with his fast and extended left straight and well-timed right hook from his southpaw stance during his kickboxing days, and we are looking forward to seeing what he can do in boxing. His opponent, Yuki Yonaha (Japan), is an aggressive fighter with a record of 17 fights, 12 wins (8 KOs), 4 losses, and 1 tie in his 10-year professional career. Moreover, he is ranked No. 4 in the Japanese Bantamweight division (as of January 31). His right straight, left hook, and right uppercut, which he swings boldly, are destructive.This match will be held as the 6th round of the super Bantamweight division.

Teraji to fight for unify the Light Flyweight titles of the three organizations. Takuma Inoue to fight for the Bantamweight title.

  • The Teraji vs. González bout will be held to unify the Light Flyweight titles of the three organizations. Both fighters were in the same ring on November 1 last year, when Teraji, the WBC champion, won by TKO in the 7th round over Kyoguchi, the WBA champion, to unify the titles. González successfully defended his WBO title for the second time with a 12 round decision win over Shokichi Iwata (Japan). Teraji, who has improved his offensive power in the last two fights, and González, who is skilled in tactics, are expected to have a spectacular fight. Takuma Inoue vs. Solis for the WBA World Bantamweight title is another interesting card. Inoue is coming off a four-fight winning streak after losing his interim WBC same-class title in November 2019.  A former WBA World Super Flyweight champion Solis will be fighting for a two-weight Championship. It will be interesting to see if Takuma Inoue, who has improved both offensively and defensively, can win one of the titles vacated by his older brother, Naoya.
  • Martinez vs. Abe will be held to determine the IBF World Featherweight challenger. Martinez, who has visited Japan before, is a former world 2 weight division champion with 57 fights under his belt. It will also be interesting to see how Abe, who is known for his flexible boxing style that mixes hard and soft boxing, fares against such a fierce competitor. The bout between Ohara, who ranked No. 8 in the WBO World Welterweight Division and has experience challenging the world title, and Sasaki, who is the 21-year-old slugger and WBO Asia-Pacific champion with an 81 percent KO rate, will also be a match that will be hard to take your eyes off of from the first round. The survival match between world-ranked fighters will inevitably end in KO.

These matches will also be available exclusively livestream on Prime Video.
