2/13 ShootBoxing - Fights Announced

The first ShootBoxing event of 2010 is looking close to final. It has been announced that female S-Cup champion Rena will take on the 16 year old talent from Jabout in Australia. Jurjevic competed in the World Muay Thai Championships in 2009. It should be a good fight between 2 talented fighters.

Also announced, though NOT official is the matchup between ShootBoxing champion Tamaaki Umeno and Jabout's Dean Xuereb.

This is looking like a very strong event, and I am sure Korakuen Hall will be packed for this.
