Mark “Rasta Mac” Vicelles, a former standout from Omega Boxing Gym in the Philippines, is scheduled to face Japanese boxer Kosuke Tomioka in an upcoming match in Shizuoka, Japan. The fight will take place under the banner of Suruga Danji Promotions.
This marks Vicelles’ first bout against a Japanese opponent. The 29-year-old flyweight, who now resides in Japan, continues to build his career in the country’s competitive boxing scene.
The event’s main attraction will feature Filipino boxer Jeo “Santino” Santisima in a match against Narumi Yukawa. Both Santisima and Vicelles have previously competed in world title fights.
Vicelles and his most recent opponent from China made weight successfully ahead of their match. His upcoming bout against Tomioka is seen as a notable step in his ongoing efforts to establish himself in Japan.
Tomioka, a local prospect, will enter the ring with a home-country advantage. The match is expected to be a test of Vicelles’ progress since relocating and training in Japan.
The outcome of the bout may influence Vicelles’ position in the Japanese rankings and shape future opportunities. Both fighters have recorded consistent performances leading into this contest.
The Shizuoka fight card includes a mix of local and international boxers. Organizers aim to highlight emerging talent while delivering a competitive night of boxing.
