Mike Tyson is in the news when he goes into a charity match.
As a former amateur boxer, I feel very complicated.
In Japan, of course, he was famous.

I was able to see him and James Douglas play live at Tokyo Dome on 11/02/1990.
I was once again reminded of the excitement of seeing Upset in the century and the fear of boxing.

Like Tyson, I was a short boxer in my weight class.
Of course, I must swing my body to the left and right to step into and attack the opponent.

My opponents were often tall.
It was necessary to exert courage to confront the tall boxer who awaits the counter.

Those who have actually entered the ring will have experience, but the blood of the boxers who played before him is attached to the floor and corners.
Don’t be afraid, I have to empty my head to see only the other person and close the distance.

I’ll never forget my first experience of down and the strange feeling.
Even though I keep seeing the face of the opponent boxer, I feel like my eyes are going down with my body.
Interchanging thoughts, resignation and repulsion.

Whatever Mike Tyson’s match is, I just want to pray for his health.
See you soon.
