ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez brings word that former unified gentle flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji’s vacant WBC flyweight title bout with Cristofer Rosales will land on October 18th in Teraji’s native Japan.
No phrase but as to the precise locale.
Teraji (23-1, 14 KO) claimed his first world title simply 10 fights into his professional profession by toppling Ganigan Lopez, then went on to make eight profitable defenses earlier than dropping a shocker to Masamichi Yabuki. Undaunted, he swiftly dispatched Yabuki within the rematch, took out Hiroto Kyoguchi to win the WBC belt, then racked up one other three defenses.
He’s each one of many prime skills within the recreation and amongst its most fun, an awesome offensive pressure with severe defensive liabilities that make each considered one of his fights thrillers. He’ll must be on level in opposition to Nicaragua’s Rosales (37-6, 22 KO), a sturdy and heavy-handed veteran with tons of expertise in opposition to prime opponents. I’m very a lot wanting ahead to this one; we’ll let you recognize as quickly as Prime Rank and co. formally announce it.
