Yudai Shigeoka Rebounds With Points Win Over Samuel Salva; Kenbun Torres Shocks KJ Cataraja

Yudai Shigeoka returned to the win column but not to his previously enjoyed level of dominance.

The former WBC strawweight titlist rebounded from his first career defeat with a unanimous decision win over the Philippines’ Samuel Salva. Scores were 97-93, 97-93 and 96-94 for Shigeoka in their ABEMA-TV aired ten-round bout Saturday at Yamato Arena in Suita, Osaka, Japan.

Shigeoka (9-1, 5 knockouts) fought for the first time since his stunning defeat to Melvin Jerusalem on March 31.
