According to the latest updates from Cocky Buffalo, the host club of the WBO champion mini-Flyweight Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi, Thu Nhi will protect the belt for the first time before Japanese boxer Yumi Narita. Expected, the match Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi vs. Yumi Narita will take place in March 2022 in Vietnam.
Not coming from a martial arts family, not practicing martial arts from a young age, nor a team member, Yumi Narita only started contact with boxing when she was 23 years old. At that time, even Narita was a full -time office worker.
“I was just a normal office worker,” Yumi Narita shared in an article on personal Instagram.
“After starting the boxing seriously, I retired from the office and moved to a professional boxer. I could go far to this level thanks to the support of many people, including coach Keiji Eguchi.”
Coach Keiji Eguchi, a former Japanese -class former champion, was the one who discovered and honed Yumi Narita's talent. When he had not been hanging, Eguchi was famous for his reflection speed and counter -counter -punches – something Yumi Narita was inherited.
At the age of 26, Yumi Narita decided to become a professional boxer. In 2016, she had a boxing battle for the professional boxing with Yumemi Ikemoto. It was a defeat, enough to “beat” Narita's beautiful dreams about the martial artist karma.
“I have encountered many failures, many obstacles right from the first match,” Yumi Narita confessed in an interview with BBM Sports. “For example, the first match of life, I lost by calculating the consensus.”
“Those failures taught me that I was not discouraged, not giving up easily. I will step by step, like walking stairs, slowly and firmly stepping up the highest step.”
Currently, the achievement of Yumi Narita is 6 wins – 4 losses – 3 draws. At first glance, it was not a high achievement, but it should be remembered that Narita has a series of 3 consecutive victories.
In particular, a victory over Yumiko Shimooka turned Yumi Narita into a minimummeight Japanese champion, one more victory over Mont Blanc Miki helped her protect the belt, and the most recent victory against Kaoru Iga helped Narita win the Oriental Asian championship OPBF in early 2021.
The Japanese press describes Yumi Narita as a female boxer who is willing to play a pair of attacks, with quite effective counting inherited from the teacher, coach Keiji Eguchi. Narita's physical strength, endurance, and cold head are also appreciated.
And finally, with a height of 1m64, Yumi Narita has a long height and sleeveless stride that is superior to the same fighters. Therefore, it can be seen that this will not be a “easy rafter” for Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi, who is only 1m57 tall, in the first battle of belt protection.
