Ismael Barroso and Andy Hiraoka will compete for the interim WBA Super Lightweight Title at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, part of a high-profile boxing event headlined by Naoya Inoue and TJ Doheny.
Barroso, a seasoned Venezuelan fighter with a professional career beginning in 2005, holds a record featuring significant knockout power, demonstrated in his recent win via TKO against Ohara Davies. However, his last loss came from Rolando Romero in May 2023 through a TKO. On the other hand, Japan's rising star Hiraoka remains undefeated with all his wins accumulated since turning pro in 2013, and his recent successes include similar decisive TKOs over opponents like Sebastian Diaz Maldonado. Entering the fight, Hiraoka's perfect record and longer reach may position him advantageously against Barroso, whose experience might struggle to offset the physical advantages of his younger opponent.
