The East Japan Boxing Association, which is made up of owners of professional boxing gyms in the Kanto region, has decided to fine 500,000 yen for violating the guidelines for preventing the spread of the new coronavirus by the chairman of the gym in Tokyo.
According to the East Japan Boxing Association, Watanabe Gym Chairman Hitoshi Watanabe in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, watched the game in his seat at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo last month, even though he had not purchased a ticket for a total of three days. In addition, he repeated the prohibited standings and did not follow the organizer's repeated cautions.
At the board meeting on the 14th, the association decided that the actions of Chairman Watanabe were a serious problem that violated the guidelines for preventing the spread of infection in professional boxing, and based on the bylaws of the association, he was fined 500,000 yen.
According to the association, Chairman Watanabe acknowledges what was pointed out.
"It's a serious problem. We will take strict measures against violations of the guidelines," said Shosei Nitta, secretary general of the East Japan Boxing Association.
According to the guidelines of professional boxing, all seats are designated and standing is prohibited in order to identify when an infected person appears in the audience.
