Fifteen-year-old kickboxing champion Seira Aragaki returns to Jewels for the first time in over a year at Jewels: “20th Ring” on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. The J-Girls and two-division M-1 titleholder faces off against South Korean taekwondo champ Hyo Kyung Song in a three-round shoot boxing match.

Aragaki made her debut for Jewels at “15th Ring” in July 2011 and earned a Unanimous Decision victory over Wano Sato. She is regarded as one of Japan’s top young female kickboxers. Song makes her first appearance for Jewels on Saturday and joins teammate Ji Yun Kim on the “20th Ring” card.

Aragaki brings a significant experience advantage into the bout with Song, but she will need to adapt to shoot boxing rules, which permit throws and standing submissions. Aragaki became J-Girls Under-15 Mini Flyweight Champion in 2010 and is also a two-division M-1 kickboxing champion at both 40 and 50 kilograms. Song is a newcomer to the Japanese fight scene, but she brings a strong background in taekwondo into her first fight under shoot boxing rules and will look to upset her highly-touted opponent.

The bout will be contested over three 2:00 rounds, with one extension round in the event of a Draw.

Jewels: “20th Ring” takes place on July 21st at Differ Ariake in Tokyo, Japan.
