Naoya Inoue, Takashi Uchiyama and other current and former boxing stars will come together at Yoyogi National Gymnasium on Feb. 11 for an unprecedented charity fight card to show appreciation for the medical professionals who have been working hard during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event has been named “Legend.”
In addition to the professional fighters, a couple of amateurs who have already secured berths for the Tokyo Olympics will also participate.
Organizers revealed six bouts for the event on Wednesday at a Tokyo hotel. Among them is a matchup of retired former triple-division champ Akira Yaegashi and WBA light flyweight title holder Hiroto Kyoguchi.
