- BoxRec worldwide number one ranked flyweight Roman Gonzalez, 40-0, won his third world title in a different weight class with a ninth round knockout of Akira Yaegashi to win the WBC World Flyweight title in Tokyo, Japan, a rarity for a foreign fighter. Gonzalez had Yaegashi down in the third round and the ninth round. The final uppercut which finished Yaegashi for good prompted the referee to end the contest. Sixth consecutive name opponent at 112 pounds taken out by Gonzalez within the distance, his BoxRec ranking thus well justified.
