World boxing champion Kazusho Ioka wins by KO

On December 31, WBA world super flyweight champion Kazusho Ioka scored two knockdowns in five rounds in his fight against world No. 8 Josbel Perez and won by KO in the seventh round. This marked Ioka's first defense by KO, as he explained, and made him the Japanese champion with the most wins in the world with "22"," overtaking Naoya Inoue, the unified world champion of the four super bantamweight divisions. Ioka's KO victory was his first since New Year's Eve three years ago. Ioka, 34, showed off his experience and skill in his 12th New Year's Eve appearance of his 13-year career. With his first defense, he moved one step closer to his long-awaited unification fight with Estrada.
