Japan boxing update: vacant minimumweight title to be contested

According to the respected Asian Boxing website, the vacant Japanese minimumweight title will be up for grabs on January 11th at  Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Kai Ishizawa (9-1, 8 KOs) will battle Katsuki Mori (9-0, 2 KOs). The domestic 105-pound title was last held by Masataka Taniguchi, who last defended it in June, but vacated for a world title bid. That move paid off when Taniguchi defeated Wilfredo Mendez last month to become the IBF champion.
