The main topic of conversation after Terachi's victory over Cañizares was the injury to his right hand that required surgery.
The unified champion admitted that the injury affected him greatly, but said that once he is fully fit and healed, a new version will emerge.
Terachi commented to Japan Boxing News, “I feel like a beginner.'' “But I think we can show you something new.” [stronger] Next fight is Taraji.”
Terachi's return was scheduled for June, but it is likely to be postponed due to the unified champion's injury.
Despite being on the sidelines, Terachi is aiming for a unification fight with either Nonsinga or Gonzalez, who are participating in negotiations for a unification fight. BoxingScene previously reported.
Terachi has spent his career at light flyweight, and before moving up to flyweight he will face the winner of a proposed matchup between Nonsinga and Gonzalez in an undisputed title fight, ending his 108-pound title reign. He said that would be appropriate for him.
Terachi said, “If I can have a title unification match with the winner of this match, nothing would be better.'' “If not, I would like to.”
