Kyodo News <a href=\"https:\/\/english.kyodonews.net\/articles\/-\/59174\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reports<\/a> that Ginjiro \u201cpassed the critical point,\u201d and though his prognosis is unclear, it appears he\u2019s no longer in imminent threat of death.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Less than four years after his professional debut, Yudai knocked out former titlist Wilfredo \u201cBiimbito\u201d Mendez to claim the interim WBC title, then dispatched Panya Pradabsri for the full title six months later. Then came a shock split decision loss to Melvin Jerusalem, a get-well decision over Samuel Salva, and finally a clear loss to Jerusalem in their rematch this past March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Yudai clearly feels blessed to have a brother like Ginjiro, but it\u2019s clear that Ginjiro is just as blessed. I dearly hope both of them get the support they need to get through this ordeal and find a new passion together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Per Yudai, Ginjiro is undergoing \u201cthree types of rehabilitation for three hours a day\u201d at a Kumamoto hospital.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-65910","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\/65910","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=65910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
