Shootboxing has made its first fight announcement for Shootboxing Act.3 on June 3^rd and it is a 65kg bout between 65kg champ Hiroaki Suzuki and Shootboxing star Hiroki Shishido. Suzuki (13-3-0, 5 KO) is currently riding a 4-fight win streak with 3 of those wins over MMA fighters and the other being against Yu Sugawara for the Shootboxing Super Lightweight title. His most recent win was a knockout of “Lion” Takeshi Inoue earlier this month. Shishido (48-10-0, 20 KO) seems to be heading towards the end of his career as he is 35 and is 1-5 in his last 6 fights. He also took on MMA fighter “Lion” Takeshi Inoue, but lost a close decision while his most recent fight was a loss to Warren Stevelmans at Shootboxing 2012 Act.1. Shishido usually fights at 70kg, but didn’t seem drained much by dropping to 67kg for the Inoue fight. However, at 35 this cut may be difficult and Shishido already has his hands full with Suzuki, so I expect his rough streak to continue.

Also expected to participate on the card is Ai Takahashi, who looks to join Mizuki Inoue in the next round of the 53.5kg Girls S-Cup, against a yet to be named opponent.
