Koki Eto (江藤 光喜 Etō Kōki) is a flyweight boxer from Japan, and a former WBA Interim Flyweight Champion. He was born and raised in Okinawa Prefecture and now lives in Tokyo.
Koki is the oldest of the three Eto brothers. His twin brother Taiki and their younger brother Shingo are all professional boxers training under former WBA Light Flyweight Champion, Yoko Gushiken.
Boxing career
Eto won the interim WBA flyweight title from Thai Kompayak Porpramook via a twelve round unanimous decision in the latter's first title defence in Bangkok on August 1, 2013.[1][2] "I can't believe it... I did it!' he exclaimed wearing the championship belt, "A dream can come true if you won't give it up!"[Video 1]
He would then lose the title to Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep on November 29, 2013 in his first title defense in Chonburi via twelfth-round knockout.[3] He had suffered a fracture of the orbital floor in the first round of this fight.[4]
On June 17, 2014, he scored a come-from-behind eighth-round knockout over Ardin Diale to seize the vacant OPBF flyweight title at the Korakuen Hall.[5][Video 2]
