Boxingtalk belatedly acknowledges the passing of Japanese boxer Kazuki Anaguchi at 23 years old. Kazuki died as a result of injuries sustained in his loss to Seiya Tsutsumi, as part of the Naoya Inoue vs. Marlon Tapales, on December 26th. Anaguchi began his career with a perfect 6-0 record. In his fourth professional fight, Anaguchi defeated three-time former world title challenger Jonathan Taconing, winning every round on all three official cards. His strong career start lead to a ten-round fight against Tsutsumi in Tokyo. The bantamweight bout with Tsutsumi was an exciting fight in which Anaguchi kept the fight close despite being knocked down in rounds 4, 7, 9 and 10 before losing by scores of 95-91, 94-92 and 94-92. After the fight, Anaguchi appeared in his corner with his legs twitching. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where he underwent emergency brain surgery. Kazuki passed away without regaining consciousness. Boxingtalk joins the WBC in not only saluting Kazuki Anaguchi, but in sending our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Kazuki Anaguchi.
