Tokyo Boxing Event on September 3: A Night of Title Fights and Rising Stars

TYPICALLY, the end of a career is not something a boxer gets to choose. Rather, it is something forced upon them, something that often blindsides them, and something they refuse to acknowledge exists so as to avoid what it actually represents.
