OSAKA, JAPAN-WBA#7/WBC#9 ranked 115-pounder Seiji Tanaka, who lost his Japanese national belt by a tenth round TKO by Nobuo Nashiro this night (Sunday), lost his consciousness in a dressing room to be urgently hospitalized near the arena, IMP Hall in Osaka, Japan. Blood clot was immediately taken out by opening a hole on the skull there, and he seems to have saved his life as he was moved to an intensive care unit though still unconscious at this moment. We hope the 28-year-old ex-champfs quick recovery.
