■ Saturday, April 4: DYNAMIC GLOVE on U-NEXT Vol.42
The following day is the 42nd edition of 'Dynamic Glove', which boasts a history of over 70 years since 1954. It features a full lineup of 6 matches, including a prelude match eyeing a world title re-challenge, an Asian title's first defense match, a Japanese title match, and a Japanese Youth title defense match.
[Main Event] Former IBF World Super Featherweight Champion Kenichi Ogawa's World Prelude Match
Aiming to regain his world title, former IBF Champion Kenichi Ogawa (Teiken) will fight a 10-round match against the 3rd ranked Philippine fighter in the same class, Rombex Caproy. It has been about 4 years and 5 months since his match against a southpaw, dating back to his world title acquisition match in November 2021. Ogawa turned 38 in February, but he sharpens his focus, saying, 'The good part is being told that I haven't changed. Since it's the main event, I'm conscious of boxing to knock him out completely.' He added, 'Someone told me it's better to show a scary Ogawa, and I was able to heighten my concentration last time. I want to fight with an atmosphere like bloodlust,' suggesting we might see an even sharper, 'scary Ogawa'.
[Semi-Final] WBO Asia Pacific Super Welterweight Champion Ryota Toyoshima's First Defense Match
Ryota Toyoshima (Teiken), who won the championship deciding match last October, will welcome the 6th ranked fighter in the same class, Carlo Bacaro (Philippines), for his first defense match. This will be his first match against a foreigner in about 2 years and 9 months. Toyoshima, who reached the milestone of 30 years old last December, expresses his determination: 'After my first defeat in January 2023, I have returned to the world front line again. I want to prove whether I can turn that losing experience into a good future.'
