He fought four times last year winning over Dixon Flores (=Yafai vs Flores), Jozsef Ajtai, Johnson Tellez and Luis Concepcion (=Concepcion vs Yafai).
His opponent, Suguru Muranaka, has an official record of 25-2-1 (8 knockouts) and he entered as the No.22 in the same weight class. He suffered his last loss when he faced Tomoya Kaneshiro in 2006, since then he has collected 18 victories and one draw. Khalid Yafai vs Suguru Muranaka is valid for the WBA World super flyweight title (Kal’s first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!
