Fighting in front of his hometown fans, super-flyweight standout Fujino displayed the technique and discipline that have established him as one of Japan’s most promising young prospects. Over six rounds, he controlled the pace of the bout against a determined Filipino challenger, who entered the contest with a solid unbeaten record and hopes of pulling off an upset on foreign soil.

With the victory, Fujino improved his professional record to 10 wins, no losses, and 1 draw, preserving his undefeated status and retaining his WBC World Youth super-flyweight title.

Southpaw Clarion, meanwhile, suffered the first defeat of his professional career, dropping to 7 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw.

At 115 pounds, Fujino continues to build valuable experience and raise his international profile within Japan’s highly competitive boxing scene, a nation that has established itself as one of the world’s leading forces in the lighter weight divisions. His performance in Kanazawa further reinforces his status as a prospect to watch on the global stage.
