Back in August we reported that former WBA Minimumweight champion Ryo Miyazaki (24-2-3, 15) [宮崎 亮] was set to return to the ring on September 25th, his first fight in years, as he looked to restart his career under the guidance of Koki Kameda. That bout was supposed to see Miyazaki, who was last seen losing to Ryoichi Taguchi in 2016, take on Taigi Higashi (6-5, 2) [東 大河] in a bout that promises to be an exciting one, as most Miyazaki bouts were.
Sadly however the news out today is that that bout has been postponed indefinitely due to Covid19 cases in Osaka and the surrounding region.
The show was set to be the second promoted by Koki Kameda and his new 3150 Gym, though with Covid cases being as high as they are in Japan it seems unlikely that fans would have been allowed in the venue. It seems that Kameda realised this and has cancelled the show for now, rather than running a second event with out fans, as his first was also held in empty arena.
At the moment it seems likely that this event is postponed and not cancelled however, with Kameda expected to re-arrange it for later in the year, after the current Covid19 wave dies down and when Osaka will be safe to hold events with fans.
