Question from a reader:
Has Daigo Higa retired?
Considering Daigo Higa’s Retirement
Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of questions about whether Daigo Higa has retired. As a fan, while I want to see more of his matches, I also worry about his mental state. His fights are always exciting, and I particularly thought his recent match against Tsutsumi was outstanding.
He showcased impressive agility, powerful punches, and a great sense of speed. That was a true Daigo Higa performance.
Memorable Matches and Emotions
As a boxing fan, I’ve watched Daigo’s matches numerous times. One match that stands out to me is when he fought Takei. Before the fight, I was confident he would win, but the outcome was different. It was truly disappointing to see his moment of despair, which seemed to reflect a weakness in his mental state. I still remember the expression on his face during the post-fight interview. If he had more confidence in himself at that moment, the result might have been different.
Future Possibilities
Regarding the possibility of retirement, personally, I think he will continue for the rest of the year. I’ve heard that Nakaya is struggling to find opponents, so in that situation, Higa might consider taking a fight. However, I have a feeling it will be difficult for him to become champion again. While he has power, he does have some challenges with his volume of punches and footwork. Winning by sheer luck is quite difficult.
A Fan’s Wish
Honestly, I wish to see more of Higa in the ring. However, the most important thing is how much he personally wants to continue boxing. His career as a boxer is relatively short, and I feel a strong desire to see what decisions he makes during this time. Finally, what do you all think about Higa? I’d love to hear your opinions and memories regarding his future and matches in the comments. I believe it’s also important for us fans to show how much we can support him.
