OSAKA, JAPAN-Kiyoshi Yoshii of Osaka Teiken Promotions announced on Monday that an anticipated second comeback bout of ex-two time WBC bantam champ Joichiro Tatsuyoshi against Mexican Hugo Dianzo, scheduled on July 6, would be postponed until September 26. Tatsuyoshi complained of his pain on the left leg, so his fight was inevitably put off by some 80 days. Tatsuyoshi is still the most popular rigman here in Japan, surpassing even the current WBC 115-pound champ Masamori Tokuyama.
