Q: Did you have a long
amateur career?
A: No, I had
no amateur career at all. I went straight to
professional boxing.
Q: All your fights in Japan
have taken place at the iconic Korakuen Hall in
Tokyo. What is it like to fight there?
A: Korakuen
Hall is very well known in Japan, and the best
place to fight. It is authentic Japanese boxing
history.
Q: How did you get the
nickname “Cobra”?
A: My boss
gave me that name. He said “you can knock
someone out with one shot. You have poison”.
Q: Who has been the best
opponent you have faced?
A: I have
faced many good opponents, so its hard to say.
But the last guy I boxed in Dominican Republic
(Edward Diaz), he was very good.
Q: Its noteworthy that you
have had six fights in Thailand. Did you live
there at one point?
A: No, I
didn't live in Thailand. I just got the
opportunity to fight there several times,
because a Japanese promoter was doing shows in
Thailand.
Q: What are your plans for
your immediate future in the ring?
A: Well, I
don't have much time left as a boxer because of
my age, but I would of course like to defend my
UBO title if possible.
