Masahiro Suzuki added to November 19th "Hajime No Ippo Tournament" card!
We've known for a while that on November 19th we'll see the Hajime No Ippo 30th anniversary tournament kick off, but the reality is that the under-card wasn't too well known.
We known about the 3 tournament semi-final bouts, but nothing about the supporting bout.
Today we were informed that the main supporting bout will feature one of the best young fighters in Japan, taking on his next notable test, as he continues to climb towards his first title bout,
The man we're talking about is World Sport Boxing's very talented Masahiro Suzuki (3-0, 2) [鈴木雅弘], who will be up against fellow Japanese fighter Hokuto Matsumoto (5-2, 1) [松本北斗].
Suzuki has impressed since his debut, just a year ago, with a 6th round TKO win against Antonio Siesmundo, and this will be his third bout this year. the 24 year old is expected to be raced towards titles in the near future, and coming into this he is already ranked #8 by the JBC.
Aged 23 Matsumoto is less well known than Suzuki but his only losses have come via close decision to Shogo Yamamoto, in June 2018, and a 5th round KO loss to the big punching Kenta Endo, this past June. He's no world beater but has the skills to test Suzuki in what should be a great warm up for the fans ahead of the Featherweight tournament bouts
