Two deaths on same card: Hiromasa Urakawa passes away

On August 9, 28-year-old Japanese Lightweight Hiromasa Urakawa passed away.

The cause of death was a traumatic brain injury sustained during his stoppage loss to Yoji Saito on August 2 in Tokyo, Japan.

This marks the second death from that same boxing event — on August 8, Japanese Super Featherweight Shigetoshi Kotari also passed away.

In addition, Yamato Hata, Kotari’s opponent, was hospitalized and is reportedly in a coma.
