## WBA #6 KAWASHIMA KEEPS JAPANESE 115-POUND BELT

July 30, 2002

TOKYO, JAPAN-WBA #6 ranked Katsushige Kawashima (22-2, 15 KOs), 115, kept his Japanese super-fly belt by disposing of top contender Yasutomo Yuki (11-3-4, 5 KOs), 114.75, at 2:34 of the 5th round in Tokyo, Japan.

Kawashima, handled by ex-WBA and WBC 105-pound champ Hideyuki Ohashi, mixed up with the game and busy-punching challenger from the outset. But the champ finally caught him with solid rights following a flurry of punches, dropping him twice prior to the refereefs intervention.

Promoter: Ohashi Promotions.
