The participants include WBC world light-flyweight champion Shokichi Iwata, WBA world minimumweight champion Ryusei Matsumoto, WBC bantamweight No. 1 contender Tenshin Nasukawa, and WBC & WBO super-flyweight No. 1 contender Tomoya Tsuboi.
Through the gym, each fighter released statements regarding their outlook: “I will approach this with strong vitality,” said Nasukawa. Iwata commented, “I want to thoroughly push my cardio and legs to return both mentally and physically stronger.” Matsumoto remarked, “Building the foundation ahead of a hot summer,” while Tsuboi stated, “I will focus intensively on strengthening my lower body and stamina, which are lacking ahead of my next bout.”
Under the guidance of strength and conditioning coach Masahiko Nakamura, the four boxers are focusing their training on lower-body development.
