Tomorrow we'll get the chance to see super prospect Rentaro Kimura (1-0, 1) [木村蓮太朗] return to the ring for his second professional bout, as he takes on Takafumi Iwaya (4-3) [岩屋卓史] at the FujisanMesse in Shizuoka.
Today, ahead of their bout, Kimura and Iwaya took part in their weigh in, and both men made the contracted 58KG, around 127.8lbs, limit.
On the scales Kimura was exactly 58KG's, and looked in tremendous shape, as he did for his debut in July.
Kimura, who is regarded as super prospect in Japan, made his debut earlier this year, blasting out Yuya Azuma in impressive fashion at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and it appears to make a statement tomorrow in tomorrows bout, which takes place in his home town. He's often spoke about wanting to become the first world champion froma gym in Shizuoka, and so fighting there does seem to be something that is important to him, and shining in is home town debut is clearly a focus.
Iwaya, who is promoted by Nobuhiro Ishida, came in comfortably under the limit, weighing in just over 126lbs. He is, notably, a replacement to a replacement for this bout and has been all but written off. He does come in on the back of 3 straight wins but this is a massive step up for him, despite his edge in professional experience. The bout, which will be streamed live by the promoter on their YouTube channel, is a great chance for fans to see what Kimura can do, before he takes on bigger and better tests in 2021. He's spoke about wanting to win a world title in 10 bouts, so we are expecting a clear step up in class next year, and wouldn't be surprised by him fighting for silverware before the end of next year.
