He\u2019s clearly still got something left in the tank after that gutsy performance against Rodriguez, but at 35 years old and with a number of punishing fights behind him, it remains to be seen whether he can break through at his highest weight to date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nasukawa (7-1, 2 KO), a generationally talented kickboxer who emigrated to the more lucrative lands of the sweet science in 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.badlefthook.com\/boxing-results\/111672\/takuma-inoue-hands-tenshin-nasukawa-first-defeat-wins-wbc-bantamweight-title\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fell short in a vacant title bid against Takuma Inoue last October<\/a>. As Hansen points out, he\u2019s still extremely early in his boxing career, incredibly physically gifted, and smack in the middle of his prime at 27 years old, so it\u2019s unwise to write him off early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Really good crossroads fight here; hopefully we in the States get to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN\u2019s Fernando Barbosa reports that former two-division champion Juan Francisco Estrada will meet Japanese superstar Tenshin Nasukawa in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384002,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-384001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
