# Boxing: A second Japanese boxer has died from brain injuries suffered at an event in Tokyo. Twenty-eight-year-old Hiromasa Urakawa died yesterday after he was beaten via knockout in the eighth round of his fight with Yoji Saito on 2 August. It follows the death of Shigetoshi Kotari on Friday from injuries sustained during a separate bout at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall. Both boxers underwent surgery for subdural haematoma – a condition where blood collects between the skull and the brain. The Japan Boxing Commission announced all local and regional title bouts will now be 10 rounds instead of 12.
