K-1 Premium 2007 Dynamite!! One Bout Added
December 31, 2007 Kyocera Dome Osaka Osaka, Japan
K-1 announced former WBA Super Featherweight champion Yong Soo Choi will battle it out with 2003 K-1 Max Champion Masato on their December 31st card. This bout was originally scheduled to take place last year at K-1 Dynamite 2006 but an injury forced Choi to withdraw. Masato, no stranger to boxers, knocked out former IBF Jr. Welterweight champion Vince Phillips back in 2003 - Masato punished the legs of Phillips in round one and the first right low kick to the thigh in the second round knocked Phillips down and that's where he stayed. But Choi is no stranger to kickboxing as he has amassed wins over Driton Rama, Nasu Yoshiharu and Satoru Suzuki in K-1.
Line-up so far (not in fight order): Fight 1 - K-1 Rules 70kg Bout (3 Rds x 3 min, 2 Rd ext if needed) - added Masato (Silver Wolf) vs. Yong Soo Choi (Kahn Gym)
Fight 2 - Hero's 85kg Bout (Rd 1 - 10 min, Rd 2 - 5 min, 5 min ext) Kazushi Sakuraba (Team Sakuraba) vs. Masakatsu Funaki (ARMS)
