Earlier this week we reported that Kyotaro Fujimoto's (17-1, 9) [藤本 京太郎] November 4th bout, which would see him defending his OPBF and WBO Asia Pacific Heavyweight titles against Australian Randall Rayment (8-3, 3), was at risk of being cancelled, due to possibility of Fujimoto facing WBO Heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (24-0, 18) in December.
According to sources today the bout between Fujimoto and Rayment is now not going to be cancelled. Instead the bout with Rayment will be regarded as part of Kyotaro's preparations, despite only taking place only 8 weeks apart, if a deal with Parker can be made.
The talk out of the Japanese press this morning, Thursday in Tokyo, is that talks representatives from both Duco, who represent the current world champion, and Kadoebi Houseki, who manage Fujimoto, is that talks are beggining, with the key points of issue at the moment being the finances.
Thanks for that. Fujimoto's team would be mad to turn down any World Title offer as it'll be the only shot they'll ever get.
Browne would also be easy work for Parker imo. I'd barely give Browne a punchers chance.
