WBC female atomweight (102-pound) champ Momo Koseki (24-2-1, 9 KOs), a 35-year-old Japanese southpaw, officially made an announcement on Monday to hang up gloves for good after she registered 17 successful defenses and acquired the WBC 105-pound belt by dethroning compatriot Yuko Kuroki in her last appearance last December.
Both belts, therefore, will become vacant with Koseki’s relinquishment. Koseki, cultivated by her long-time manager/promoter Masayuki Ariyoshi, has improved in every fight physically, technically and mentally so that she became a formidable champion, having broken even Yoko Gushiken’s thirteen consecutive defenses and having been unbeaten since 2008 to her credit.
This reporter wonders how much Koseki gained and saved money through her remarkable seventeen defenses. Koseki, a graduate from Nihon Female Athletic University, campaigned in the amateur contests and then turned professional in 2007. The path of her fistic career based on her great efforts and dedications might be lined with thorns, but her second life will be successful as a therapist to assist patients and older people, hopefully. Bon voyage!

Take it that was a Joe Koizumi piece you've copied? (He has a few idiosycrasies) Strange he didn't mention that Koseki managed to unify the WBA and WBC Atomweight titles and holds a win over current WBO champion. Proper tough nut was Koseki. Congrats to her and good luck as she looks to become a physiotherapist!
