Promoter employing drunk ring girl suspended

By Joe Koizumi

This is the serious aftermath of the previously reported ring girl who got drunk afterward wandering at the prestigious Korakuen Hall on September 8. The Japan Boxing Commission (JBC) announced on Monday to suspend the promoter of the event titled “Overheat Boxers’ Night,” Masaru Kawashima, the owner of Flash Akabane Gym, for six months from the date of the said event and also have him fined 500,000 Japanese Yen (some 4,740 USD) for a penalty.

The COVID-19 outbreak has set up the JBC/JPBA’s guideline for coronavirus prevention including a clause that should forbid participants/spectators from drinking and/or eating in the arena for the time being. It was reported some round girls then gathered in a dressing room of the Hall and drank alcoholic beverages. The said ring girl reportedly became so intoxicated that she apparently caused a moral scandal inside the Hall. Our commission isn’t tolerant toward Bacchus.

  • This is ludicrous! Shady paid off judges like Julie Lederman turning in repulsive scorecards as if it was filled out before the fight even started and absolutely no consequences and a poor ring girl can’t even have a few cold ones and prance around which is what they do anyway between rounds! and the commissions want to crucify her? Throw the Lederman’s with her if that’s the case!

  • If the promoter was involved, as a part of the drinking group, yes, he deserves to be punished, but if he wasn’t and didn’t know about it (like seems that happened) the veredict its all wrong.
    So, what is the big fuss anyway? I truly believe that a celebrity wouldn’t have gotten the same treatment.

  • There is an easy solution. Hire the drunken ring card girl as a boxing judge. She can’t be any worse that what we see every week and probably better looking. Also, lay of Julie Lederman, huh? Loma made virtually no offensive effort with the exception of the 11th round.

    • That’s a good idea Bruce. A beautiful girl as a judge, no complaints not matter how she scores.
      God……I still laughing about the idea of a drunken girl judging a fight.

  • Who would go to a fight where they are forcing you to wear a mask and you cant breathe anyway. It is against your constitutional rights for anybody to inhibit your breathing against your will contrary to the mask mandate.

  • Pay women to take off their clothes and walk around in their underwear being perverted sexual exhibitionists. Then dare to virtue signal. Hey you pay them to disregard their morals and ethics.

  • We are shocked – shocked I tell you! – that the young lady imbibed an alcoholic beverage! This will surely tarnish the image of the honest sport of boxing!
