Kanna Asakura faces champ Tomo Maesawa at DEEP JEWELS 23
Recent RIZIN title-challenger Kanna Asakura is set to return to the ring in March when she heads to DEEP JEWELS to take on their atomweight champion, Tomo Maesawa, in a non-title bout.
The fight was confirmed early Wednesday.
21-year-old Kanna Asakura (13-3) rebounded from a loss to Alyssa Garcia in her RIZIN debut by winning eight-straight fights across RIZIN and DEEP JEWELS. With wins over Saori Ishioka, Maria Oliveira, and Rena Kubota along the way, Kanna Asakura won the RIZIN Super Atomweight Grand-Prix in 2017 to become one of the biggest names in the promotion.
