Teraji and Hisada promise war

WBC Press

The World Boxing Council light flyweight champion, Japan’s Kenshiro Teraji (17-0, 10 KO), will defend his crown against the division’s mandatory challenger, his compatriot, Tetsuya Hisada (34-10-2, 20 KO), this Saturday, at the EDION Arena, Osaka, Japan.

They were face to face in a press conference prior to the event, where they were respectful and assured that they will wage war inside the ring.

Teraji has defended the title seven times since he won it from Mexican Ganigan Lopez in 2017. Five of those defenses have been by knockout. Hisada comes into this match after losing a close decision to Hiroto Kyoguchi in 2019.

The card is promoted by Masato Yamashita and Shinsei Promotions.
