Report: Akiyama and Kang to fight for HERO’s on Oct. 28
Sherdog.com is reporting that Yoshihiro Akiyama and Denis Kang have been scheduled for K-1 HERO’s next card on Oct. 28. The card is slated to take place in Seoul, South Korea at the Jang Chung Gymnasium.
This will be Akiyama’s first fight since a 10-month suspension after being accused of applying an excessive amount of moisturizer to his body prior to his match against Kazushi Sakuraba last Dec. 31.
For Kang, who is half-Korean, it will mark his first match under the K-1 HERO’s banner.
Opponents for both Kang and Akiyama have yet to be named.
