Japanese boxing to hold an emergency meeting after the death of the fighters Boxing news

Boxer Shigitushi Kotary and Herromasa Oracawa died after battles on the same card in Tokyo last week.

Japanese boxing officials will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday, as sporting in the country faces severe scrutiny after the death of fighters in separate seizures at the same event.

Shigitichi Kotary fought the feather weight, and Herromasa Urakawa, both 28 years old, fought on the same card in the Korakwin Hall in Tokyo on August 2 and He died a few days after brain surgery.

The Japanese Boxing Committee (JBC), the owners of the gym and other boxing officials are under pressure to act and will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday.

Local media said he was expected to take place on safety talks next month.

“We are fully aware of our responsibility as director of this sport,” Tsuii Yasukucci, JBC Secretary -General, told reporters on Sunday.

“We will take any measures we can.”

The Japanese media has highlighted the risk of fighters to lose weight quickly before weighing.

“Drought makes the brain more vulnerable to bleeding,” said Ashay Shimbon newspaper.

This is one of the issues that JBC plans to discuss with the coaches.

“They want to hear from the sports hall officials who work closely with athletes about elements such as losing weight loss and pre -wandering air conditioning, which may be causal (mortality).”

In one of the immediate procedures, the committee decided to reduce all seizures of the Eastern and Pacific title to 10 rounds out of 12.

“The offensive power of Japanese boxing today is enormous,” Asahi Shimbun Yasukucci “has reported.

“We have more and more boxers who are able to start exchanging fierce strikes from the first round. Perhaps it can be 12 dangerous rounds.”
