Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Hisashi Amagasa set for Dec. 31
New York, NY (December 4, 2014)– Unified junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, 34 (14-0, 9 KOs) will be going to Japan to face Hisashi Amagasa, 29 (28-4-2, 19 KOs) on December 31st.
Gary Hyde who manages Rigondeaux had this to say about Amagasa,
“First and foremost I am pleased that Rigo will be back in action this year, and if it has to be in Asia again, so be it,” Hyde told ESPN.com. “My one wish for 2015 is that the other 122-pound belt holders step up to the plate and challenge the only true champion of the division.”
“The Japanese challenger Amagasa is very tall, just over 5-foot-10, but Rigo who is 5-4½ is a universal fighter who can adapt to every opponent’s style,” Hyde said. “I have absolutely no worries about going to Asia again as Rigo travels very well. He will put on another sensational display to end a frustrating year.”
