Murata, Linares, Frampton fights set Aug 21st 2013, 16:31, by Dan Rafael A couple of notes from the boxing world: • On Sunday in Tokyo, 27-year-old Ryota Murata, the heralded 2012 Olympic middleweight gold medalist from Japan, will make his pro debut. Murata will headline the card at the Ariake Coliseum in a scheduled six-rounder against Akio Shibata (20-7-1, 9 KOs), who holds the OPBF middleweight title, which is one of Asia’s most traditional regional belts. Murata recently signed a co-promotional deal with Akihiko Honda’s Teiken Boxing and Top Rank, which has plans for him to fight in the United States next year.
