Yudai Shigeoka retires from boxing to care for his brother Ginjiro

Real shame that both men's careers have panned out the way that they have. I was always more high on Ginjiro than I was Yudai but I do think Yudai is still a very talented fighter and could pretty easily grab a title at 108 (which is still in a very odd state right now). I wish both of them happy lives outside the rings though.

 

Absolute legend and the truest form of brotherly love. Get a Godfundme page up for them.

 

Sucks to lose both of them but that is heartwarming.

 

Even if their primes was a world champion together was short... we need to think about the amazing victories both have and they are for me on the top 20 of the most greatest Minimumweight world champions in History.

 

I really thought these two would do something amazing at the lower weights. But they both ended up with really short title runs, and ironically both men lost to the same opponents twice.

Boxing did not treat these two well. I think Ginjiro´s injury scared Yudai into retirement too, and I cant fault him for it. I wish them both the best, and hopefully Ginjiro makes a full recovery.
Edit:
It´s bad, really, really bad. They don't show his face for a good reason. Bless his brother for going the extra mile in taking care of his brother.

So much respect for Yudai right now. I really hope Ginjiro fully recovers
