After dropping hints he might walk away from the sport, former WBC flyweight world titleholder Daigo Higa has shown his readiness and desire to be a champion again.
Higa's license was suspended indefinitely following his April 2018 bout against Cristofer Rosales, when he failed to make weight and lost the world title on the scales.
Higa was defending his WBC flyweight title for the third time but forfeited his belt after exceeding the 112-pound (51-kg) limit. It was the first time a Japanese boxer failed to make weight for a world title fight.
