HIGA- A BIG HIT WITH THE FANS!

What a knockout!  as new World Boxing Council flyweight champion, Daigo Higa, was rapturously greeted as a hero in his native Okinawa, Japan.

Young undefeated  Daigo Higa, a native of the city of Urasoe of the province of Okinawa, was crowned as the new WBC flyweight king by stopping  Mexico’s Juan “Churritos” Hernández in Tokyo on 20 May.

Thanks to this great victory, maintaining an unblemished record,  he entered into the history of Japanese boxing as the first fighter of that country to conquer a world title with all 13 of his fights won by knockout.

Okinawa is home  of great Japanese boxing figures, now including Daigo Higa who is the eighth world champion born in this province. His manager is former world champion Yoko Gushiken, who is also from Okinawa has certainly played a great role in his pupil-s phenomenal and hard hitting success.
