Will the 44-year-old world champion be born!

Ohba's challenge for the world title is by no means reckless. But more than that, Ohba has his own reason for wanting to stand at the top of the world.

In fact, Ohba So's uncle was called "the nobleman of the ring" in the early 1970s and was the top star of the Japanese boxing world. He was a legendary professional boxer, Masao Oba, who died in 1973 at the age of 23 in an accident while making five consecutive defenses as the WBA World Flyweight Champion with his "insane right hook.

[He debuted as a professional boxer in Thailand at the age of 36.

Masao Oba's nephew, Sou Oba, is a Japanese professional boxer from Thailand who has been competing in Thailand since November 2016. 36 years old, he made his debut as a professional boxer in Thailand and has won many fights.

He is the nephew of the late legendary champion Masao Oba, and has inherited the genes of the prodigy boxer. He is also known as the last apprentice of Isamu Kuwata, the legendary trainer who trained the late Masao Oba.

The challenger for the PAT Thai Professional Boxing Association International S. Featherweight title match has been changed. Rattakorn was originally scheduled as the challenger, but was forced to withdraw due to injury. Weera Sabaiban will challenge Oba So again for the first time since July 30 last year. This will be the fourth defense for Oba, and also a prelude to the WBU World title match.

After Corona, children's mental disorders have skyrocketed!

After Corona, there are still various effects on the minds of children. The number of mental disorders among children has skyrocketed. (According to the National Center for Child Health and Development) Ohba So himself suffered from mental illness and mental disorders since he was a child. He is a sportsman who understands the mental suffering of children better than anyone else.

As one of the WBC's social contribution activities to support children who will lead the next generation society on Children's Day, a national holiday in Thailand, a Muay Thai and international style boxing tournament is held every year on this day. Ohba was the first Japanese athlete to participate in this event.

Drawing on his own experience as a boxer, Ohba is also interested in promoting the sound development of young people and friendship between Japan and Thailand through the spread of WBC Muay Thai and international-style boxing.

He has also lived in Kanagawa Prefecture for many years and opened the team with the aim of contributing to the sound upbringing of youth, the revitalization, development, and image of the city of Yokosuka, as well as increasing tourism by participating in the Yokosuka City Tourism Association.

[I want to tell the children. You may be suffering now, but your dreams will come true.

Ohba So is proud to be a reincarnation of the late Masao Ohba. He began training at Teiken Gymnasium in Chiyoda, Tokyo, despite his emotional suffering since elementary school. After his amateur career, he made his debut as a professional boxer in Thailand with the support of his uncle, the late Masao Oba's mortal rival, Thai national hero Chatchai Chionoi. He announced that he would remain active until the age of 56. After that, he will continue to teach boxing to children with a focus on psychological care, and promote the healthy development of young people by popularizing and expanding the base of WBC Muay Thai and international style boxing.
