I’m still on my deep dive into boxing in Japan.

Look out for this guy, Reito Tsustumi. Another legit blue chip prospect like Subaru Murata, yet has an even higher ceiling IMO.

Was the most dominant boxer in the AIBA Youth Worlds earlier this year. Fights at 130ish. Beat this bigger Cuban pretty easily.

He has a pro style with some advanced wrinkles to his game. He pretty much gave up height and reach for every fight in that tournament so you know the skills are legit.

Saw on his IG he spars with Inoue as well, so he’s getting the elite of elite training in.

I hope they can just keep it simple and maybe just sign with ESPN. Their roster isn’t that deep, so having a combined TR and GB roster on ESPN just makes everything better and easier to make.

Realistically who else is out there? Showtime would be another good spot. Anything that can pair and combine with wither TR or PBC is a win and makes big fights easier to make.

DAZN and matchroom might be the odd ball out if that happens, which would make DAZN even less attractive to any non UK fighters.

Fedor Emelianenko Has Interest in Exhibition Clash With Roy Jones

Mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Fedor Emelianenko is interested in the idea of holding an exhibition boxing match.

But he doesn't want to do it with a non-athlete - he wants to do it against a seasoned boxer like former four division champion Roy Jones Jr.

Jones returned to the ring last year, when he took part in a high-profile exhibition clash with former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.


In the last few months, Jones expressed his desire to have more exhibition fights - including a clash with another MMA legend, Anderson Silva.

"I would be interested, I have already worked with Denis Lebedev, with other guys [in boxing]. I have been boxing myself since 2000. So, yes, it would be interesting to have such a fight, but not with bloggers and singers, not with people from outside the world of sports. Roy Jones is a legend of world boxing, so of course it would be interesting to do it with him," Fedor said to Igor Lazorin.

Both Jones and Fedor are up there in age, but the MMA fighter is not going to look past the abilities of the one-time pound-for-pound king.

"He has such a track record. He will always be Roy Jones, although he will no longer have that crazy [hand] speed," Fedor said.

Emelianenko is 44 years old. In the world of MMA he has 39 victories and six defeats, with one fight being declared a no-contest.


Jones is 52 years old and retired in 2018. In 2015, the American boxer received Russian citizenship. Because of his popularity in the country, Jones has fought four times on Russian soil. In total, he has 66 wins (47 by knockout) and nine defeats.
