Hinomoto Wins Title Shot

June 6, Korakuen Hall (FPR);
Former "Sexy Fight" star Reiko Hinomoto won a Number One Contender's match against the legendary Manami Toyota. Hinomoto picked up the victory after hitting her "lethal" Angel Dive. Toyota and Hinomoto shook hands after the bout, but sources say that Toyota has refused to talk to anyone following the bout. It has been reported that Toyota promptly left the hall afterwards, and was not present at the post-show enkai.


This means that Hinomoto has an unprecedented second chance in half a year to become the Joshi Sekai Champion. Her last title shot came against then-champion Akira Hokuto, when Hokuto put the young challenger away with two Northern Light Bombs.



Hinomoto will face champion and rival Mary Riegan at OJ-FWA: FIRST, June
24th at the Tokyo Dome.
