Krush “Triple Final Round,” which features a kickboxing fight between Akihiro Gono and Yuya Yamamoto, has been postponed until April 30.
The card was originally slated for March 19. However, the horrible tsunami and earthquakes that have affected the island nation have forced the change. The event will remain at Korakuan Hall in Tokyo.
Gono will be looking to turn things around in the kickboxing ring after dropping his lightweight debut at SRC 14. The former middleweight was dominated in every aspect of the game by Jadamba Narantungalag. Prior to that, “The Magic Man” had won three-straight fights.
Yamamoto won the All Japan Kickboxing Federation welterweight title in 2007 with a decision over Mitsumasa Horikawa. He also defeated Yuichiro Nagashima en route to his runner-up performance in the 2009 K-1 World MAX Japan Tournament.
