Mizuki Hiruta Meets Japan's Consulate General in Los Angeles

Women’s Ring Magazine and WBO Super Flyweight Champion Mizuki ‘MIMI’ Hiruta was honored on Thursday afternoon at the Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles. Taking a break from her local training, Hiruta was greeted by Consul General Kosei Murota.

“It was a great honor to meet with Consul General Kosei Murota,” said Hiruta. “He is very supportive of my career and I look forward to welcoming him to a future fight. It was a perfect way to take a short break from the training for my title defense on November 22.”

Said Tom Loeffler, President of 360 Promotions; “t’s great to see the support that Ring Magazine and WBO World Champion Mizuki Hiruta has received from the Japanese fans in the United States and in her home country of Japan. Mizuki hails from the same home town, Okayama, as World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto comes from. Clearly something special there to produce World Champion athletes. It’s perfect timing for Mizuki to make her 6th World Title defense in Los Angeles right after the Dodgers won the World Series for the second time in a row.”

Ranked #1 in the Super Flyweight Division by ESPN, Hiruta (9-0, 2 KOs), of Okayama, Japan will make the sixth defense of her WBO World Title against #2 Ranked Gloria ‘Depredadora’ Gallardo, (16-3-3, 7 KOs), of Rosarita, Baja California, Mexico in the ten-round main event on Saturday, November 22 at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA.
