At the start of July we saw former WBO Super Featherweight champion Masayuki Ito (27-3-1, 15) [伊藤 雅雪] score a TKO win over Valentine Hosokawa (25-9-3, 12) [細川 バレンタイン], in what was a surprisingly 1-sided beat down by the former world champion. After that bout we did assume this was probably the end for Hosokawa and today we saw Hosokawa confirm his career was over, through a YouTube video that he posted. In the video Hosokawa went on to say thanks to the fans, for following his career and being interested, then explained that he would like to retire with the match against Ito being his last contest. He then added that he didn't feel blue, and it seemed very much that he was in a good place regarding this being the end of his career. Hosokawa, one of the more popular Japanese domestic level fighters in recent years, has been a professional since 2006. During his long career he won the All Japan Rookie of the Year in 2008, fought for the OPBF title in 2013, won the JapaneseLight Welterweight title in 2017 and consistently put on great performances, aging like a fine wine to have some of his best bouts in his late 30's. We would like to say thanks to Hosokawa for the great, action fights he has given us over the years, and want to wish him all the best in his post boxing career. His bouts against the likes of Shinya Iwabuchi, Min Wook Kim, Koichi Aso, Hiroki Okada and Vladimir Baez were brilliant to watch and for fans who haven't followed him we would strongly suggest hunting down some of his great bouts.
