According to Asianboxing Nobuhiro Ishida is set to make an announcement later today, supposedly about a fight in Osaka on New Years Eve...anyone want to make a guess on who he will be fighting? I wonder if the announcement will confirm the rumour about Inoue Vs Narvaez for the Osaka New Years Eve show, or even the Ioka Vs Reveco rumour...
Rematch with Fujimoto for the Japanese HW title is the most likely(title better be on the line this time)
Kirkland moving up to Cruiser or Heavyweight to fight the new edition of Nobuhiro would be news indeed!
So. Japans #2 and #3 HWs are gonna square off? Yaaay...:roll: What happened to the best fighting the best?:bart
The #3 has lost twice to the best in the country and the best in the country wants no part of an Ishida rematch >_>
I'm not sure. It looks like he turned down a fight with Joseph Parker for the OPBF title (smart move by the Japanese guy) and if the rumours are right there will no TBS New Years Eve show this year...so out of the ring until next year it seems.
