Mthalane takes on mandatory challenger Masayuki Kuroda in Tokyo.
The other two judges are New Zealander Ian Scott and local Masakazu Murase who‚ apart from a few assignments in the Philippines‚ has not scored outside Japan.He was one of the judges when Hekkie Budler won the IBF and WBA junior-flyweight titles in Japan last year.
But he hasn’t always been a good charm for SA fighters — he was in Mexico when Nkosinathi Joyi lost his IBF strawweight belt in 2012‚ although that was by stoppage‚ not by scorecard. Hotz was ringside when Anthony Joshua won his first world heavyweight strap‚ knocking out Charles Martin to lift the IBF heavyweight mantle in 2016.
