Kazuki Anaguchi down four times, convulses before hospitalization

BOXING/MMA /

Kazuki Anaguchi, a 23-year-old Japanese boxer, was hospitalized after appearing on the Naoya Inoue vs. Marlon Tapales undercard.

Anaguchi suffered his first loss in seven fights against Seiya Tsutsumi at bantamweight and struggled in the corner after the verdict.

Anaguchi had engaged in a bloody and brutal battle with Tsutsumi, falling four times in the fight. Tsutsumi won 95-91 and 94-92 twice on the scorecards.

However, a video has since surfaced of Anaguchi convulsing in a corner. His legs shook as his trainer tried to keep him upright.

It was disgusting to see a boxer who gave his all struggling to maintain his balance in the public eye and television audience.

World Boxing News understands that the 6-1 fighter was taken to hospital after his team helped him to the locker room.

WBN is in the process of trying to get an update on Anaguchi’s condition.

Hospitalization

Live! Promotions, which represented Tapales, posted a message after the fight. They said: “Prayers to Kazuki Anaguchi. After his match against Seiya Tsutsumi, he went straight to the hospital. Fight hard, champion!

The match demanded a lot from both men, as they participated throughout the entire contest. Anaguchi is expected to be fine and able to make a full recovery.

In the main event, Inoue became the undisputed super bantamweight champion and pound-for-pound king.

Inoue regained the top spot from Terence Crawford after winning a second division in twelve months.

Tapales was stopped in the tenth round of another fight.

On Tapales, Viva added: “Marlon Tapales delivered a performance that helped earn the respect that Filipinos need from the boxing world today.

“The battle scars that Marlon Tapales has right now are for all the Filipino boxing fans who have yet to be told but who will never give up and will continue to fight until the end. Long live Nightmare! Long live Pinoy!
