He's undefeated as heavyweight champion of Japan.

Of course he has been beaten, they have been talking about it up in this thread.

The "former" part of my comment relates to the fact he vacated the title, there will be a new champion crowned before he fights Dubois.

The better talking up point, if that was what you were doing, would be surely "the man that unified the Japanese title with the Orientals and WBO Asia Pacific champion, in fact he's the the first man to unify those 3 titles"

Jesus Christ - I now know why I don't bother with the B and I forum anymore - it used to be good once.

It doesn't matter who has done what - he's still undefeated as heavyweight champion of Japan - that's it. We all know he isn't unbeaten as a professional fighter - no need for you to point it out Mr Pedant.

No need for your last part, I simply stated that he is the first Japanese heavyweight champion (who has never lost his title in the ring... therefore an undefeated Japanese heavyweight champion just as Rocky Marciano was an undefeated world heavyweight champion) to headine a British card - if you want to add all of that then be my guest.

NB: And who gives a flying fornicate who is 'The WBO Asia-Pacific Champion'?

If you're going to call me pedantic I might as well be pedantic, Kyotaro is not the first Japanese Heavyweight champion, that was
Noburu Kataoka in the 1950's there was a bog song and dance when the JBC reactived the title.

I'd put a lot more stock in him being the Heavyweight champion of the Asia Pacific region than Japan. He was the guy that held the OPBF title after Parker vacated, a hell of a lot more prestigious than being the best Heavyweight in a country that doesn't have more than a handful of fighters in the division.

Being the king of the region is better than the champion of a single nation.

Poor work from Frank IMO. if he wants Dub to get experience and belts fighting guys like this and Tetteh then fair enough... But he could fight every week at this level.

Probably end up press row for this.

I’m already trying to get some mates to go.

ewenhay wrote: ↑09 Nov 2019, 16:37 It's not a great opponent on paper but it's his 5th fight of the year and his 14th in total.

Just a keep busy fight to keep him ticking over and in the public eye. . I see him stepping up a level next year.
