On the 15th, WBA flyweight champion Artem Darakian (Ukraine), who was challenged by No. 1 ranked Yuri Akui Masago (Kurashiki Moriyasu), held a public workout at a gym in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, and answered interviews of the media. The gong will be rung on the 23rd at “Prime Video Presents Live Boxing 6” at Edion Arena in Osaka.

Dalakian (36, 22 wins, 15 KOs) traveled from Ukraine to Poland by bus for 6 hours because of the war, and then flew to Japan from Warsaw. Two days after arriving in Japan, during free practice, Dalakian was in a good and calm mood, and said: “Everything is going according to plan. I’m getting rid of jet lag. The weather in Japan is also great.” . ”
When asked about the impact of the war, he explained: “Ukraine is in a difficult situation because of the war, but it has created an environment where they can play sports.” However, during a training session, the air raid siren sounded and I calmed my frightened Mexican partner and fled with him to the bomb shelter. He left his wife, three daughters and a son aged between 13 and 2 at home and went to Japan for almost three months at a training camp in Kivu.
He showed a slight glove shot.
He started boxing at the age of 13 and has a record of 220 fights and 207 victories as an amateur and remains undefeated as a professional. The defense tape for the WBA title, won in the championship match against Brian Viloria (USA), was extended to six.
The veteran champion didn’t say much about his challenger Akui (28 = 18 wins, 11 KOs, 2 losses, 1 draw), saying: “He’s a very good fighter, worthy of a challenger.” However, sub-promoter and former amateur Dmitry Eliseyev said: “The fight has been postponed. For this reason, I have carefully analyzed the situation for six months. I am also considering a full round.” It seems that Akui has carefully prepared his countermeasures.
The 23rd, when his seventh defense will be held, is the birthday of his mother Marina, who declared the victory with a smile, saying: “I have to give the belt to my mother. That’s why I can’t lose.”
