■ April 4th (Saturday) DYNAMIC GLOVE on U-NEXT Vol.42
The following day marks the 42nd installment of "Dynamic Glove," boasting over 70 years of history since 1954. A full card of six matches is lined up, including preliminary bouts for a world title rematch, an Asian title defense, a Japan title match, and a Japan Youth title defense.
【Main Event】Former IBF World Super Featherweight Champion Kenichi Ogawa in a World Eliminator Bout
Kenichi Ogawa (Teiken), former IBF champion aiming to regain world glory, will fight in a 10-round bout against Philippines' #3 contender Rombex Caproi. This marks his first fight against a southpaw in approximately 4 years and 5 months, since his world title win in November 2021. Ogawa, who turned 38 in February, is focusing intensely, stating, "It's good when people say I haven't changed. As it's the main event, I'm focused on a boxing style that finishes the fight decisively." He added, "Someone told me it's good to show the 'scary Ogawa,' and last time I was able to heighten my concentration. I want to fight with a killer instinct atmosphere," suggesting we might see an even more sharpened 'scary Ogawa'.
【Semi-Final】WBO Asia-Pacific Super Welterweight Champion Ryota Toyoshima in His First Defense
Ryota Toyoshima (Teiken), who won the championship bout last October, will make his first defense against Carlo Bacaro (Philippines), ranked #6 in the same division. This will be his first match against a foreign opponent in approximately 2 years and 9 months. Toyoshima, who celebrated his 30th birthday in December last year, declared, "After my first loss in January 2023, I've returned to the world title contention. I want to prove if I can turn that loss into a good future," showing his determination.
【Japanese Super Lightweight Title Deciding Match】Eikichi Kawamura vs. Enson Fujita – Revenge or Comeback?
Eikichi Kawamura (Kadokura Kōshi), ranked #1 in the division, will clash with Enson Fujita (Yokohama Hikari), #2 and former champion. Kawamura won by 3rd round TKO in May 2025, so Fujita's desire for revenge is burning.
【Other Undercard Bouts】
Higa Miyata (Teiken), ranked #15 in the Lightweight division and recently returned to the Japanese rankings, aims for higher standing in an 8-round bout against Shunsuke Honda (E&J Cassius), ranked #8 in the same division.
