Hey!  Shigeoka ready to stalk  Straw Champion Pradabsri

 This Saturday  at Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, on a card presented by Kameda Promotions,  Japanese Yudai Shigeoka interim WBC straw-weight champion, will fight the WBC absolute champion, Thai Panya Pradabsri (40-1/24KOs, 32 years old) in a highly anticipated “Barnstormer.”

Yudai Shigeoka (7-0/5KOs, 26 years old and from the Watanabe Boxing Gym in Tokyo, won the WBC interim straw title after knocking out Puerto Rican Wilfredo “Bimbito” Méndez in the seventh round this  April in Tokyo.

Shigeoka has undergone and completed a great training camp and is in excellent shape, which is both appropriate and apt, as Pradabsri is a capable and worthy champion. 

On the same card, Yudai’s younger brother Ginjiro Shigeoka (9-0/7KOs) will face Mexican Daniel “Cejitas” Valladares (26-3-1/15KOs) in a rematch.
