Hometown boy makes good.



Koshimoto apparently trains at a boxing gym right here in Fukutsu. Fukuma-side, leastways. Also, at age 35 he gives my sad 33 year old self some hope.

Koshimoto outpoints Chi to become new WBC featherweight champion - Yahoo! News:
"FUKUOKA (AFP) - Japan's Takashi Koshimoto has won a split-decision victory over Chi In-Jin of South Korea to become the new World Boxing Council featherweight champion.

...Koshimoto, ranked fifth in the WBC, improved his record to 39 wins, including 17 KOs, against one defeat and two draws. He became Japan's oldest world champion at age 35."
