Ken Shiro Looks Forward To Unifying With Taguchi-Melindo Winner

WBC light flyweight world champion Ken Shiro is among those fighters who should take it easy with the turkey on Christmas Eve. The unbeaten Japanese will have a rendezvous with a scale on December 29 before defending his green-and-gold belt the day after as part of the tumultuous New Years Eve boxing schedule that traditionally takes place in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Shiro (10-0, 5 KOs) will face Panamanian challenger Gilberto Pedroza in a voluntary defense in a card headlined by one of the finest pugilists today in the sport, Naoya Inoue. Pedroza (18-3-2, 8 KOs) is currently rated No. 11 with the WBC and he freshly comes from the biggest win of his career so far against former world title challenger Saul Juarez, whom he beat by split decision over nine rounds this past October.

“Preparation is perfect for December 30. I am training at the Misako Gym in Tokyo. Sparring has been going well, I have sparred about 70 rounds so far. I am absolutely sure that I will be victorious against Pedroza,” Shiro told BoxingScene.com in a recent interview.
