If the big guns run away, he will immediately move to bantamweight!　Jyunjin Nakatani, who is too strong, reveals his “too unexpected problem”.

And even more than the challenger, it was Nakatani’s weight loss that made him suffer this time. He passed the weigh-in at 1:00 p.m. on the day before the match, 100 g underweight, but there was a stir among the press when they saw Nakatani, dressed in a black top and bottom jersey.

His cheeks were gaunt and his eyes were sunken. It was last summer that Nakatani decided to vacate his WBO flyweight title and move up to super flyweight. This would be his third fight at 115 pounds, but Nakatani, still growing at 172 cm tall, had to drop from over 61 kg to 52.16 kg, even with his usual moderation. That was a difficult task.

After the Cortez fight, Rudy said.

I think it’s better to move him up to bantam now, considering his health and the way he fights. If the big names in super fly won’t fight him, then there is no need to make sacrifices.”

When Nakatani decided to move up one weight class from flyweight, Rudy said, “Bantam is the right weight for Jundt. Here, he can show his true potential. However, at the LA camp for the Cortez fight, Rudy said, “I think it will be a year and a half or two years before I fight.

However, Nakatani, who pushes himself like a seeker and works hard, has muscles in his body, which naturally get bigger. Every boxer must experience weight gain as he or she ages.

It has been a little over eight years since Nakatani stepped into the professional ring for the first time on April 26, 2015, at the age of 17. Nakatani, who has now won 26 fights with 19 KOs and two world titles, is no exception.

Some in the Nakatani camp are saying, ” This is the last time I will fight at super flyweight,” but how does Nakatani see it?

Nakatani said, “I have a strong desire to fight a unification fight at super flyweight. It is true that the weight cut was tough, but it did not affect me to the extent that my legs cramped up. I was able to build up my condition for the fight and fight in my best condition.

However, I still feel that I can perform better if I move up to bantam. If I don’t have any big fights lined up, I think it would be okay to move up.

In the near future, Nakatani will probably move up to the 118-pound (53.52 kg) bantamweight division. If he vacates his title and moves up one weight class, he would immediately become No. 1 in the WBO rankings and be eligible to challenge for a nomination. Currently, the WBO bantamweight champion is Jason Moloney (32). He is the twin brother of Andrew Moloney, whom Nakatani fought when he won the belt he holds. The WBA title is also held by Takuma Inoue. Either way, this is sure to be a hotly anticipated fight.

If a unification fight at super flyweight is to be decided, it will be between WBC champion Juan Francisco Estrada (33) or IBF champion Fernando Martinez (32). Nakatani has publicly stated that he would like to fight any champion, but Kazusho Ioka, who holds the WBA title in the same weight class, has a history of avoiding fights.

In any case, he will surely achieve a three-weight championship. Keep your eyes on Jyunjin Nakatani, who keeps on running.
