Kenshiro Teraji vs. Tetsuya Hisada on April 24

World Boxing Council light flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji (17-0, 10 KO), will defend his crown against the mandatory challenger Tetsuya Hisada (34-10-2, 20 KO) on April 24 at the EDION Arena in Osaka, Japan.

Teraji has successfully defended the title seven times since he snatched it from Ganigan Lopez in 2017. Five of those successful defenses came by knockout.

The champion had planned to fight in December, but he had some personal problems that kept him away from the ring.

Kenshiro is currently fully focused on this fight. Hisada comes from losing a close decision against Hiroto Kyoguchi in 2019. Like Teraji, he has had months of inactivity due to the current pandemic.
