"Ambition GYM" set to rebrand
Yesterday the board of directors of the East Japan Boxing Association held a meeting and announced a number of things.
One of those announcements was that the Ambition GYM, which promotes WBO Super Flyweight champion Kazuto Ioka (26-2, 15) [井岡一翔] and former WBC Flyweight champion Daigo Higa (17-2-1, 17) [比 嘉 大吾]. The Gym will now be known as the Shisei Boxing Gym, with the name change coming in to effect from July 15th. The gym will also relocate to Shimomeguro, Meguro-ku.
A second announcement was that the Noda Star Boxing Gym has withdrawn from the East Japan Boxing Association.
A more notable announcement was that a ¥20,000 subsidy would be paid to the promoter for each fighter, and that charges shouldn't be made to the Gym or Fighter for the PCR tests and the hotel for isolation. This is clearly to help promoters and gyms during the on going situation, which has still seen reduced crowds attended Japanese events.
