Japan`s  Hozumi Hasegawa,  will try to conquer the third world crown of his career, on September 16 in Osaka, Japan, challenging Hugo Ruiz, who`s the  WBC super bantamweight world champion.

A former bantamweight and featherweight world champion, Hasegawa`s faces his toughest and heaviest test.  Undaunted, he has a history with Mexican fighters, having fought ten of them, being  defeated just twice.

Hasegawa dethroned  WBC bantamweight champion, Veeraphol Sahaprom. He then defended the belt in 5 times before being defeated by Fernando Montiel. After that, he contested the vacant WBC featherweight belt, conquering it by defeating Juan Carlos Burgos.

The southpaw fighter has a 40% KO ratio.  He`s reassured that Ruiz ‘power wont be a problem, insisting he`s making a beeline for  “Cuatito” who`ll have to bring his A to keep his belt.

The much anticipated fight,  will take place at the EDION Arena in Osaka.
