    21 year-old Kazuto Ioka is the new WBC 105lb champion after a stunning stoppage victory over seasoned former titleholder Oleydong Sithsamerchai at the World Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan.

    The Osaka-based youngster put the 25 year-old southpaw down twice in the fight before the referee stopped the bout in round five, inflicting Oleydong’s first defeat in 36 contests and handing Ioka the world title in just his 7th pro outing.

    It wasn’t quite enough to break the all-time record for claiming a world title in the fewest fights as that honour lies with the late Saensak Muangsurin, who*claimed the WBC light-welterweight title in 1975 in just his third fight and who sadly passed away in 2009.

    it might just be me, but i've no interest whatsoever in any fighter at 105 - I just find it difficult to get excited about fighters with the bodies of pre-pubescent boys. (no homo.)

    Not that this has much relevance to this thread (sorry Rob) but if I ever win the lottery.. I'm gonna pay the WBC to make up a brand new belt for me and let me fight against an absolute bum who's about 2 stone lighter than me. Then when I win, I'll be able to say I was a 'world champion' in boxing!

    Do you remember who picked this guy to do well from the start? ;)

    :happy

    He's also the boxer with the fewest fights to win a 'world' title from Japan now. Stopping Oleydong was a shock though, because Ioka isn't a puncher at all.

    Veraphool Sapharom was 3-0 I think?? Beat a top champion as well. I'd take world class ams like Gavin and Degale to beat some of the worl champs.

    Unification with Burns maybe?

    Well done to the lad, certainly going to try and keep watching out for him.
