"Gundam Boxer" Koji Umetsu Enters The Ring
Date: 2/18/2007
The Hochi Shimbun backup prizefighting Japanese Featherweight title match will be held in Tokyo's Kourakuen Hall on the third of March. A highly favored contender of the fight is 30 year old self admitted otaku Koji Umetsu who has nicknamed himself "Gundam Boxer", he even has a special technique from the anime called the "Jetstream Attack". Umetsu will be fighting 22 year old Takashi Kutsuro. Gundam won his first title at age of 30 last October. His record shows 12 victories and six defeats. He says he'll be able to win the match just as Gundam defeated the Domu MS although he decided to keep details of the secret "killer shot" Jetstream Atack secret to the press. Gundam worked for an undisclosed toy company before leaving to enter boxing in 2000. Hochi has a picture of the fighter holding up a Domu figure here.
