Today fight fans at Korakuen Hall will get the chance to see a mouth-watering clash as former Japanese Featherweight champion Ryo Sagawa (11-2, 6) [佐川遼] faces former WBA Super Bantamweight world champion Shun Kubo (15-2, 10) [久保隼], in an excellent looking 8 rounder.

 

Today, ahead of their bout, the two men took part in their weigh in for the bout.

 

On the scales Sagawa was bang on the Featherweight limit and looked great on the scales. He seemed to feel confident here, and explained that "If I beat the former world champion, you can step up. It will lead to great growth for me". He also added "I want to be careful of the left straight at a unique timing and the jab that upsets the sense of distance,", noting that Kubo does have a very good jab and is awkward with it, and "I think that if you control the distance, you will gradually be able to keep pace." Seemingly hinting that he wants to get close and set a high tempo, rather than fight a bout at range.
