By Dan Ambrose: 2012 Olympic gold medalist Ryota Murata (12-0, 10 KOs) hasn’t faced any live bodies since turning pro in 2013, but that’s still not stopping him from fighting for the vacant WBA World middleweight title against Hassan N’Dam (35-2, 21 KOs) at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan. Murata and N’Dam are going to be fighting for the WBA title that was recently in possession of Daniel Jacobs. He lost the title when he was beaten by Gennady Golovkin by a 12 round unanimous decision on March 18 of this year.
