Timeline

Joichiro Tatsuyoshi (辰吉丈一郎) is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) world bantamweight champion from Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan.

His record is 20–7–1 (14 KOs).

He is popular for his fight style and unique personality, and has appeared in several television variety shows.

He is named after Joe Yabuki, the main character of the boxing anime, Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe).

Coincidentally, he fights in the same weight class (bantamweight) as the character he is named after.

He has a large reach in comparison with his height (Tatsuyoshi is 164 cm tall with a reach of 178 cm) and is known for his distinctively low guard.

He often keeps his hands in front of his chest, unlike other boxers who usually keep their hands closer to the head.

He is managed by the Osaka Teiken boxing gym.

Tatsuyoshi's father was a boxing fan and began training his son when he was a toddler.

After graduating from middle school, Tatsuyoshi moved to Osaka to begin training, working part-time at restaurants to support himself.

Tatsyoshi won the Japanese amateur bantamweight championship at age 17, becoming a candidate for the Seoul Olympics.

Tatsuyoshi was featured in a local Kansai newspaper as one of Japan's best young boxers.

His amateur record was 18–1–0.

1989

Tatsuyoshi turned pro in 1989 and won the Japanese Bantamweight in his fourth professional fight.

1991

He won the WBC World Bantamweight Title in his eighth professional fight in 1991, the fastest of any Japanese boxer (Nobuo Nashiro tied this record in 2006, winning the WBA Super Flyweight Title in his eighth fight).

However, he was discovered to have a torn retina while training for his first title defense, forcing him into rehabilitation.

Almost a full year after winning the title, Tatsuyoshi fought Victor Rabanales, who had become the WBC Interim Champion during Tatsuyoshi's inactivity.

Tatsuyoshi lost by TKO in the ninth round but vowed revenge, claiming it was his twin brother "Joujirou" who had lost the fight.

1993

Tatsuyoshi fought Rabanales again on July 22, 1993, for the WBC World Bantamweight Interim Title, defeating Rabanales by 12-round decision.

In September of the same year, he was found to have another eye injury; this time a detached left retina, forcing him to give up his interim title and nearly forcing him into retirement.

1994

Tatsuyoshi managed to continue his career, making a comeback in July 1994 in Hawaii, knocking out his opponent in three rounds.

The WBC returned the interim title to Tatsuyoshi after the fight.

In December, 1994, Tatsuyoshi fought WBC Bantamweight Champion Yasuei Yakushiji.

Being a title match between two Japanese fighters, the match generated huge media attention, and Tatsuyoshi was a huge favorite to win.

However, he ended with a loss by 12-round decision, losing his interim title.

1996

Tatsuyoshi challenged the WBC Super Bantamweight Champion twice in 1996 and 1997, but lost both times.

1997

Many began to believe he was no longer capable of fighting at the world level, and in November 1997, Tatsuyoshi challenged undefeated WBC Bantamweight Champion Sirimongkol Singwangcha, with the intent of retiring if he failed to win.

Despite the odds, he won by TKO in seventh round, reclaiming his title after three years.

1998

Tatsuyoshi recorded two title defenses before losing to Veeraphol Sahaprom on December 29, 1998.

1999

He challenged Sahaprom in August 1999, but lost again in the seventh round, and announced his retirement after the fight.

2002

He changed his mind shortly afterwards and resumed his training, making a comeback fight on December 15, 2002, winning by TKO after more than three years of inactivity.

2003

He won again in September 2003, but fell into inactivity again after injuring his left knee.

There are no plans for a next fight, but he still trains with his son, Jukiya, who wishes to follow his father into professional boxing.

Tatsuyoshi admitted that he was bullied during his early childhood.

He overcame it through boxing and never lost a street fight during his teens.

He says he never used his fists when street fighting, because a bare knuckle punch could severely injure his opponent.

He used open-handed slaps and elbows instead.

Because of his experiences, Tatsuyoshi has appeared in public advertisements condemning bullying.

He is known to train exceptionally hard.

Trainers used to keep their young boxers away from Tatsuyoshi, not because he might injure the younger boxers in a sparring session, but because the younger fighters might give up after seeing the enormous amount of time Tatsuyoshi spent training.
