Kazumi Izaki, a 45-year-old mother of two, has become Japan’s oldest professional boxer after passing the Japanese board’s license test.
Izaki, who has daughters aged 21 and 14, laced up her first pair of boxing gloves in 2001. Under JBC rules, applicants for a license must be under 32 but
Izaki was allowed permission to fight because she previously won a Japanese title, albeit one not recognized by the country’s governing body.
Hiroaki Yokota had held the distinction of being Japan’s oldest professional boxer but the 46-year-old declined to renew his license.
