Triple title show set for December 8th in Osaka!
Back in September we revealed that Japanese Welterweight Yuki Beppu (20-1-1, 19) [別府優樹] was going to be back in the ring on December 8th, to fight for the WBO Asia Pacific Welterweight title against former Japanese national champion Ryota Yada (19-5, 16) [矢田良太].
Today that bout was officially announced, along with 2 other title bouts, as Green Tsuda confirmed a December card under their "Crash Boxing" banner at the EDION Arena Osaka.
The card, "Crash Boxing vol 19", will be headlined by a Japanese Super Flyweight title bout, as Takayuki Okumoto (23-8-4, 11) [奥本貴之] defends his belt for the 4th time, and takes on former champion Kenta Nakagawa (17-3-1, 12) [中川 健太], in an all southpaw bout.
For Okumoto the bout will see him looking to build on an excellent win over Dynamic Kenji earlier this year, and go into 2020 as the champion ahead of the Champion Carnival.
The Beppu Vs Yada bout will be the main support bout, and pits two wonderfully nicknamed fighters against each other. Beppu is known as the "Kyushu Tyson", after the region he's from the knockout's he's scored, whilst Yada is the "Naniwa Terminator", also due to where he's from and his style.
The third title bout will see Toshiki Shimomachi (10-1-2, 6) [下町俊貴] make his first defense of the Japanese Youth Super Bantamweight title. At the moment his opponent hasn't yet been named but will be in the coming weeks.
This show might not be a huge one, despite the three titles title bouts, but again it adds to what is becoming a very, very packed December for Japanese fight fans. They have started to see more and more cards being announced for the month, and there's now two set for the EDION Arena Osaka on December 8th. We're also expecting a huge announcement later this week as the month's scheduled continues to be put together.
