About This Trend

May 19th is recognized as 'Boxing Day' in Japan, a commemorative day established by the Japan Professional Boxing Association in 2010 to honor the country's first world boxing champion, Shirai Yoshio, who won the world flyweight title in 1952.

The trend is currently active due to ongoing celebrations and reflections on Shirai Yoshio's historic achievement, which marked a significant milestone in Japanese boxing history. .
