Back to basics: Unbeaten Hong Kong boxer Rex Tso to return in amateur exhibition fight
- The Wonder Kid will make his first ring appearance since defeating Japan’s Kohei Kono last October
- The 31-year-old will fight three rounds against unknown Taiwanese amateur at the Southorn Stadium
Hong Kong boxing superstar Rex Tso Sing-yu will make his long-awaited return to the ring later this month. But before anybody gets excited, the 31-year-old “Wonder Kid” will box only three rounds of three minutes in an amateur exhibition fight on the card of Ultimate Extreme Fight Hong Kong 2018 at Southorn Stadium on November 30.
Tso has kept a low profile since hurting his left eye during his technical decision victory against Japan’s Kohei Kono in October last year but is showing a strong desire to return to boxing after his long absence from the ring.
The unbeaten southpaw, who has amassed a 22-0-0 record with 13 knockouts, will fight unheralded Taiwanese amateur Chiang Yi-hung in the exhibition that forms part of the 2018 Hong Kong Boxing Championship and UEF Championship.
The show is presented and organised by the Hong Kong Boxing Association.
The Hong Kong boxing phenom will also fight for the first time since splitting with long-term trainer and manager Jay Lau Chi-yuen last month.
