Newly crowned 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, next March 19.
On September 22 in Kyoto, Japan, Teraji was dethroned by 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.
At a press conference, where both warriors promised victory, this match was confirmed.
“I am determined to enter the ring with more desire and with the intention of taking revenge against Yabuki for my honor. I’m going to get my belt back,” Teraji vowed.
And the champion commented: “The rematch is a great opportunity to show that I am the true champion. The day of the fight they will see a war and I will emerge with my arm raised”.
