OSAKA, JAPAN-Ex-two time WBC bantam champ Joichiro Tatsuyoshi (17-6-1, 12 KOs) will make a sensational comeback against ex-WBA flyweight ruler Saen Sor Ploenchit (43-1, 14 KOs), Thailand, tomorrow in Osaka, Japan.
Tatsuyoshi, 32, has been inactive for 3 years and 4 months since he failed to regain his WBC 118-pound belt from current champ Veeraphol Nakornluang-Promotion via 7th round TKO in 1999. Sean, 31, keeps winning since he forfeited his WBA 112-pound title to Venezuelan Jose Bonilla in 1996.
Almost all tickets were sold out since Japanese people pay great attentions to this encounter.
