SPORTSCLOPEDIA 51: RENE MARK CUARTO VS. GINJIRO SHIGEOKA TALE OF THE TAPE By Maloney L. Samaco PhilBoxing.com Sun, 16 Apr 2023  Former world champion Rene Cuarto faces undefeated Ginijro Shigeoka of Japan today for the IBF interim minimumweight championship at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. Cuarto became the IBF world minimumweight champion after he defeated fellow Filipino Pedro Taduran by technical decision in their rematch in 2022. Cuarto lost his IBF minimumweight title belt via a split decision to Daniel Valladares of Mexico in San Nicolas delos Garza, Mexico. Valladares fought Shigeoka and the title fight was declared a no-contest when the Mexican champion was unable to continue fighting due to an accidental head butt in the third round last January. When the fight was stopped all the three judges scored the bout at 19-19. Cuarto is rated no. 3 by the IBF, while Shigeoka is rated no. 4. The winner of their match will gain the right to challenge Valladares for the IBF world minimumweight championship.
