Malcolm Tunacao, Hozumi Hasegawa visit Miyagi prefecture to console earthquake victims

OPBF Bantamweight champion Malcolm Tunacao and his stablemate former 2-division world champion Hozumi Hasegawa visited the Miyagi Agriculture Highschool to console the big earthquake/tsunami victims.

Because of Tsunami damages, the school's boxing-club members lost the place for their training, etc.

Hasegawa and Malcolm showed them how to box and gave kindest messages with encouragement.

One of the boxing-club members, a high school boy who lives in the Miyagi prefecture, said: "We were very happy to see such a great champion like Mr. Hasegawa. It was very exciting time for us. Thank you very much very kind champs, we will soon be back!"
