ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez brings phrase that former unified mild flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji’s vacant WBC flyweight title bout with Cristofer Rosales will land on October 18th in Teraji’s native Japan.
No phrase but as to the particular locale.
Teraji (23-1, 14 KO) claimed his first world title simply 10 fights into his professional profession by toppling Ganigan Lopez, then went on to make eight profitable defenses earlier than dropping a shocker to Masamichi Yabuki. Undaunted, he swiftly dispatched Yabuki within the rematch, took out Hiroto Kyoguchi to win the WBC belt, then racked up one other three defenses.
He’s each one of many high abilities within the recreation and amongst its most enjoyable, an awesome offensive drive with severe defensive liabilities that make each certainly one of his fights thrillers. He’ll should be on level towards Nicaragua’s Rosales (37-6, 22 KO), a sturdy and heavy-handed veteran with tons of expertise towards high opponents. I’m very a lot wanting ahead to this one; we’ll let you understand as quickly as Prime Rank and co. formally announce it.
