On 10 June, Yuga Fujiki (Ohashi) secured a second-round TKO victory over reigning Thai super-featherweight champion Weera Mikham (Thailand) in a 59.9kg catchweight contest. The 6-round bout served as the main event of the “Lemino BOXING PHOENIX BATTLE 157” card held at Korakuen Hall. With the victory, Fujiki made a successful professional debut as he begins his campaign toward a professional title. The official time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 5 seconds into round two.

Wearing khaki trunks, Fujiki showcased sharp, disciplined boxing from the opening bell. He established his rhythm behind a solid left jab before following up with straight rights, while cleanly neutralizing Mikham’s counters with a high guard. A perfectly timed counter left jab staggered Mikham, before a subsequent right cross left the Thai fighter on the verge of a knockdown late in the stanza.
Fujiki maintained his offensive variety in the second round, targeting Mikham with straight rights, left hooks to the body, and right uppercuts immediately after evading his opponent’s exchanges. Although Mikham entered the contest as a seasoned competitor who challenged Shu Utsuki (Watanabe) for a regional title last year, compiling a record of 21-2 (13 KOs), the technical disparity between the two fighters was evident from the outset. Sensing Mikham was badly hurt by a right hand, Fujiki immediately accelerated his output with a sustained barrage of power punches, prompting referee Nakamura to intervene and halt the contest.
“This was my first time competing in front of such a large audience, and it was an incredible feeling,” Fujiki remarked regarding his professional debut. “The super-featherweight regional titles are currently held entirely by Japanese fighters. My goal is to secure one of those belts as quickly as possible.”
