In a bout that defied expectations, Kazuki Anaguchi faced his first professional defeat. Against Seiya Tsutsumi, a fierce contender, the Tokyo arena witnessed more than just a boxing match. Anaguchi, only 23, is now hospitalized, unconscious. The fight’s intensity escalated with each round. Anaguchi, a southpaw, met Tsutsumi’s relentless offense with equal vigor.
Oddly, his legs twitched post-fight, signaling distress. A unanimous decision declared Tsutsumi the victor, but the real story lay beyond the ring. The young boxer’s condition, post-defeat, paints a chilling portrait of a sport often glamorized for its brutality. As Anaguchi lies in a hospital bed, the fight’s true cost becomes painfully clear.
