Japanese national hero, 2012 Olympic gold medalist and currently WBA middleweight champion Ryota Murata left for Las Vegas today (Saturday) to put his belt on the line against mandatory challenger Rob Brant at the Park Theater next Saturday (October 20). Murata, making his second defense, is highly anticipated to show a good performance before the US audience. Good luck!
