Masamichi Yabuki and Kenshiro Teraji made pre-weigh-in

World Boxing Council light flyweight champion Masamichi Yabuki (13-3, 12 KOs), 29, will face former champion Kenshiro Teraji (18-1, 10 KOs), 30, in Kyoto, Japan on March 19th.

Yabuki is determined to leave no doubt that he is the best fighter in the division, so he is putting in a lot of extra preparation.

Teraji was dethroned via a tenth-round TKO by Yabuki, failing in his ninth defense of the WBC light flyweight title, and losing his undefeated record in professional boxing.

Before his fight with Yabuki, Teraji suffered from COVID and insists that this affected his performance, insisting the rematch fight will be radically different.

Both fighters submitted their seven days pre-weigh-in prior to the fight.
The WBC recognizes the professionalism of both warriors for fulfilling this important commitment.
We appreciate the hard work, dedication and persistence of William Boodhoo, who`s responsible for following up on all the requirements prior to a title match.
