Nishida Vs Omori pushed back (again)? Kenshiro Vs Hisada off...?
It now appears that the bout will be taking place in December 19th, at the EDION Arena Osaka, on a Shinsei Promoted card, 6 days after the previously reported date though on a show by the same promoter at the same venue.
The delay this time seems less down to an issue affecting the fighters involved and more down to the cancellation of a bout that looked a done deal, and seemed to be planned, but has now fallen apart, causing plans to change.
That was the planned WBC Light Flyweight title bout, pitting unbeaten champion Kenshiro Teraji (17-0, 10) [寺地 拳四朗] against Tetsuya Hisada (34-10-2, 20) [久田 哲也], which now appears to be off, with the JBC expected to punish Teraji for his drunk driving issues, which have been in the news recently.
At the moment no official punishment has been given to Teraji, but it is looking like there will be one, and it also seem like the Hisada bout is dead in the water, for now.
Notably the Nishida Vs Omori bout is now one of 5 bouts scheduled for the December 19th card, and is one of 3 bouts scheduled for 8 rounds. The venue has also changed, from the 1st stadium at the EDION Arena Osaka to the smaller 2nd Stadium, suggesting that the world title bout is indeed off.
