I would like to apologize for the discomfort that I have caused due to the injury I suffered in the fight of May 29, which forced me to lose all the struggles where I was scheduled.
As I announced previously, I will leave BJW at the end of June.
Last year, when I turned 25, I began to ask myself how much more time I had left as a professional fighter and, earlier this year, I consulted with President Tosaka about the possibility of retiring.
I have not yet decided what I will do after retirement, but I will go step by step, trusting my wife's words, which encouraged me to “do what you want, whenever you want.” I am currently recovering at home, but I have been dating my family and little by little I started training with weights.
The date of my return has not yet been decided, but I asked President Tosaka if he could have my return fight in the BJW ring, and immediately accepted. I will let you know when my return is decided.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to BJW for the past 26 years and the fans that have supported me. I will not retire right now, so I hope you continue to support me in the future.
