Guts Ishimatsu
Guts Ishimatsu onJune 1949 is a former boxing world champion from Kanumashi, Japan. After retiring from boxing, he has gained popularity as an actor and comedian.
On April 11, 1974, Guts fought WBC Champion Rodolfo Gato Gonzlez in Tokyo. Gonzlez had a record of 5950 going into the fight, as opposed to Guts rather pathetic record of 26116 . Few expected Guts to win, but Guts fought toetotoe with the champion, getting a knockout win in the 8th round. Guts credited his win with being able to prepare for three extra months , which he used to pack on extra stamina for the fight. Guts was reintroduced to Gonzlezyears later on a Japanese television show, where he learned that he and Gonzalez bore an uncanny number of similarities, including being born in a poor household, and succeeding as an actor after retiring from boxing as former world champions.
