Top-ranked challenger Yasuo Tokimitsu will take a second shot at the World Boxing Council minimumweight crown this fall when he takes on champion Jose Aguirre of Mexico, officials of the Kurashiki Moriyasu Gym said Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Tokimitsu, who failed in his first attempt to lift the minimumweight crown two years ago, will get a second chance in a scheduled 12-rounder at Okayama Budokan on Nov. 11.
Tokimitsu, who fights under the name "Wolf" Tokimitsu, said he was thrilled to have the chance to fight for the title again after losing to then-champion Wandee Singwangcha of Thailand by technical knockout in May 1999.
