It was used in this title match against Yuuri Seigo Akui, who made his third defense in the Japan flyweight title match held on February 27, 2022.
We asked about the experience of [Hajime no Ippo x FUEGO Boxing Shoes Mamoru Takamura Ver.].
Congratulations on your third defense! It was a fierce battle in the 10th full round, but how was the feeling of fatigue in your legs towards the end?
Well, I was able to move comfortably without feeling particularly tired until the final round.
The sole of the shoes you wore this time has a strong grip, but could you tell us your impression?
Depending on the ring, friction may be large, or on the contrary, it may be slippery, so I think the sole is compatible. Fighting style also seems to have a big impact.
Among them, this sole was the best for me this time. I think it depends on the environment and the players themselves.
Please tell us if you have any recommended points from Yuri.

Is the hold on the ankle always important?
Yes, because it is very important here. As a boxer, you want to be very careful about protecting your ankles, so I always choose the high cut type.
On top of that, it is highly recommended that you can hold it even more tightly with a string.
How do you feel about the design?
This time it's a black x black design that matches my costume, so it's hard to understand, but I think it's an interesting design because you can create various nuances by combining colors from here.
Also, Mr. Takamura is behind the tongue, so it makes me feel better.
Because I love Takamura-san (laughs)
Thank you very much, please continue to use FUEGO shoes in the future.
Yes, I always make custom-made costumes at FUEGO, so I'm looking forward to the next time I'll be able to choose the color of the shoes myself and customize them to coordinate my whole body!
