Japan: Ohashi, Teiken, Misako, Hatanaka, Ioka, Shisei

What is different about the Japanese system?
The Japanese system of professional boxing is massively different from how boxing is run in the West. In the west a promoter will typically be able to match two of their fighters, as with see consistently with Top Rank, Queensberry, Golden Boy, Matchroom and the PBC. The promoter and the gym where fighters train are separate entities, usually, with promoters taking fighters from across the world, or country.

In Japan the gym is also, usually, the promoter and is based in 1 location, with fighters typically training in that gym. The gym can't have two fighters facing off against each other, due to JBC rules, which means that certain potential bouts can't take place unless one of the fighters transfers away from the gym. At the moment this would mean bouts like Hiroto Kyoguchi Vs Ryoichi Taguchi couldn't take place as both are with the Watanabe Gym.

How many gyms is there?
Lots. There are genuinely loads of gyms across Japan, though the main ones that fans will be aware of are the Teiken Gym, Watanabe, Ohashi, Mutoh, Ioka, Shinsei, Kyoei Misako, Yokohama Hikari, World Sport and Hatanaka. Many of the gyms are run by former fighters, though others are run by business people, and the JB Sports Gym is actually owned by the man behind the Hajime No Ippo series.

Puerto Rico: Fresh Productions Boxing (promoter of Subriel Matias, probably 1 of the most talented & exciting title holders out there right now)

Update:
*Japan: Japan Boxing Commission, Teiken Promotions (Director Akihiko Honda), Ohashi, Misako, Hatanaka, Ioka, Shisei, Watanabe, Mutoh, Ioka, Kyoei Misako, Yokohama Hikari, World Sport,

Lee Baxter puts on cards pretty regularly at Rebel, although I haven’t been to one there yet. I wish he’d get back to using Danforth Music Hall seeing as it’s right on the subway line, and in a better area if the city for dining beforehand.

*New Zealand: Glozier Boxing,

There's a newish promotion called Wildfighter down in Oz, headed up by former pro Will Tomlinson, also Big Time boxing under Brian Armatruda.

No Limit are the biggest though and they have an exclusive deal with Fox Sports here, hard to get exposure if you're not with them.

I don't actually think they're doing fights anymore. I met Lester a few years back at my old gym, one of his sons (might have been Heath) was promoting under that banner at the time, haven't seen any pro shows from them in a few years.

I just get an email every once in a while when they have a card. I think it's always been Lee Baxter, but i've never really looked closely. I think he also used to have a gym on Queen St. near Parliament, Hard Knocks boxing gym or something, but it closed down.
