Motoki Sasaki want to be the first oldest Japanese Boxer and he must prove that for defeating the Mexican Boxer Humberto Soto on June 25 2011. “If I get this belt, it will mean so much. That's how much of my life I've devoted to this match,” said Sasaki. The Japanese pugilist, Sasaki, in the end admitted it was not easy to fight anywhere outside one’s country but on the same note he said he has the experience and will utilise it in Mexico. He added he was never born that talented but he achieved everything with his hard work and enjoys his growth. He said, “I was able to experience how it feels like to fight away from home. I want to use that experience to my advantage this time. I don't know where my physical limits meet my mental limits. For now, I'm really enjoying my growth.”
