Fight fans unfamiliar with Mizuki Hiruta got a chance to see one of the most talented world champions in boxing Saturday night with the Glory in Giza main card, live and exclusive on DAZN PPV.
Soon enough, they might see the Japanese star take on an American superstar in the making.
After recording her seventh defense of the WBO super flyweight world title — a unanimous decision over Mai Soliman — Hiruta invited a mega fight with undisputed flyweight ruler Gabriela Fundora.
“Yes, of course,” an overcome with emotion Hiruta said live on DAZN, welcoming a clash with Fundora. “She’s very strong.”
The potential dream bout would feature two undefeated and extremely sharp fighters, with Fundora (18-0, 10 KOs) touting more of a mean streak from her 5-foot-9 fighting frame than Hiruta (11-0, 2 KOs).
Fight fans checking in Saturday night realized quickly that Hiruta’s sweet science skills are as colorful as her green hair, as she dominated her way through the 10-round title defense over Soliman, only boosting her growing fight profile.
“I want a unification [fight], and I want to be a superstar,” Hiruta said without flinching. “I will keep this belt forever.”
Well, perhaps we’ll find out if ‘Sweet Poison’ Fundora has anything to say about that.
