Fight Previews Friday 12th July from Edion Arena, Osaka, Japan on ESPN+ Rob Brant (25-1) v Ryota Murata (14-2) WBA Middleweight Title Rob Brant goes to Osaka, Japan to face Ryota Murata in a middleweight rematch, for the WBA “world” title that Brant took from Murata last October.   Brant (25-1, 17 KO) was the underdog last fall when he took on Murata in Las Vegas, and pulled off not just a surprise win, but a surprisingly dominant performance, winning a very wide (and deserved) decision.   Brant says that he feels it’s fair to go to Japan for the contractually-obligated rematch, and that it doesn’t give him any nerves at all, as he’s simply confident in his ability:    Ken Shiro (15-0) v Jonathan Taconing (28-3-1) WBC Light Flyweight Title Shiro only turned pro 5 years ago.
