Hidekazu Akai, a former professional boxing player and actor, will be appointed as a men's promotion committee member of the Japan Amateur Boxing Federation on the 1st of this month, and will work to popularize amateur boxing and raise name recognition.
Mr. Akai held an inaugural press conference online and said, "I received a request to give back to boxing. I want to promote the spread of the competition and impress many people by watching the game. Currently, the competition population I heard that there are about 4,300 people, but I would like to increase the number to 100,000 in the future. "
Mr. Akai is 61 years old from Osaka prefecture. He played an active part in amateur boxing, such as winning the overall high school championship, and turned professional while attending Kinki University. Nicknamed "Namiwa no Rocky" for his aggressive fighting style, he has won 12 consecutive knockouts since his debut, which was a Japanese record at the time.
After retiring, he has been active as an actor and talent, and has also been involved in amateur boxing, such as serving as general director at the Kinki University boxing club at his alma mater.
Last month, Shizuyo Yamasaki, a talented member of the Japan Boxing Federation, was appointed as a women's strengthening committee member and a promotion committee member, and Mr. Akai said, "It would be interesting to work with Mr. Yamazaki to promote the competition. Isn't it? "He said with a smile.
Chairman Sadanobu Uchida said, "I have decided that I have a sufficient career to promote the spread. I would like the players to cooperate in various situations, such as sharing their experiences so far."
