Disgraced boxer Kameda makes first public apology over dirty fight

Saturday, 01 December 2007

Disgraced boxer Daiki Kameda apologized for the first time in public on Friday for his dirty tactics during a title fight last month.

Kameda, 18, appeared at a press conference on Friday before resuming his first training session in 2 1/2 months at the Kyoei Gym. The Japan Boxing Commission suspended Kameda's boxing license for one year in the wake of his foul play in a fight against WBC world flyweight champion Daisuke Naito.

During the press conference, Kameda bowed his head and said, "I am sorry for all the fuss I have caused everyone." Kameda had directly apologized to Naito earlier, but it was the first time that he made an apology in public.

During the fight, Kameda picked up and wrestled Naito to the ground repeatedly, and was docked three penalty points. He also insulted the world champion, calling him such things as a "cockroach."
