But when you click on his record it takes you to a BoxRec page that shows no pro fights but says he debuts as a pro on Ocober 6, 2018!! http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/842448
Whatever language that article you linked is in is not English (maybe French) and I dont speak that. Maybe you could summarize the article for me.
If you translate the article maybe I can get him on the list.

Ginjiro Shigeoka will make his debut in September! Apparently went 56-1 as an amateur losing ONLY to his older brother. He's fighting out of the Watanabe gym in Japan

Do you really trust such amateur records?
Each amateur tournament has only 1 winner, other participants get 1 loss. Or did he fight in dual matches only?
RE - Ginjiro Shigeoka - Fighting on the domestic amateur scene in Japan tends to make it easier to believe than fighting on the international scene. The JABF might by dodgy as hell but they are typically good with numbers, especially when his loss has been so public. The Strefa amateur boxing website doesn't have his complete record, but hasn't got his loss on. It does have 9 of his 57 reported bouts on it
His Strefa amateur boxing record has him entering 5 tournaments and winning all 5

Good point. Boxing scoop has lots of gaps, missing fights and incomplete records, so it has limited value. Strefa is great for international tourneys and national championships in SOME countries so its a good measure of how amateurs do at top level.

a record like 56-1 tells me he didnt fight too much at the top levels internationally.
loma is the only fighter ive seen to pull off that type of record with extensive international experience, pretty sure of the fights that can be found hes like 70-1 internationally...thats insane when you consider that even pretty much all of the elite ams have double digit losses or close to it

Adding 2 -time Olympian YAMIL PERALTA an Argentine cruiser.
-2017 European Championship quarterfinalist (69kg) (note: He lost after very controversial decision to Belous from Moldavia - Kiwior easily deserved the decision, this moment was the main reason why he turned pro as he got upset with unfair judging in amateurs)
-2017 World Championship participant at Welterweight.
-He's record at World Series of Boxing is not impressive (2-8) but he was just 20-22 years old at this time. Lost to: Gaybatulla Gadzhialiyev (AZE) 2x, Askhat Ualikhanov (KAZ), Yasnier Toledo (CUB), Jan Rivera (PUR), Vincenzo Mangiacapre (ITA), Luis Arcon (VEN), Albert Karibian (RUS) and won against Juan Pablo Romero (MEX) and Ronan Nahuel Sanchez (ARG)
I don't know his exact record but he had 240 fights
So bad i can't find Kiwior vs Romero fight it was entertaining, after this fight Kiwior got a nickname "Kevlar Kid"
At European Championship he beaten the Estonian (don't know the name) and Romanian Pita then he beaten foul Moldavian Belous but judges have seen it otherwise.
