Saturday night at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan, light flyweights Kenichi Horikawa (25-12-1, 4 KO’s) and Yu Kimura (12-2-1, 2 KO’s) will contest for the vacant Japanese light flyweight title in 10 scheduled 10 round bout.
This will be the first chance at a title for Kimura, who suffered losses in 2008 and 2011, but has won his last three outings. This will also be his first 10 round match-up. Horikawa’s won two straight, and is also looking for his first title belt after having failed in five previous attempts and various regional championships in the minimum-weight and flyweight divisions.
