Momo Koseki (小関桃, Koseki Momo, born 31 July 1982) is a Japanese former
strawweight
title in 2017. Koseki made a record-breaking seventeen consecutive title defenses of her WBC atomweight title.
Career
Koseki was inspired to take up boxing after watching Hiroshi Kawashima on TV. Koseki won the inaugural All-Japan women's amateur championships in 2003, as well as the second edition in 2004. After winning a third national amateur title in 2007, she decided to turn pro as women's boxing was not yet accepted as an Olympic sport.[1]
Koseki won her first three bouts. She went on to challenge Winyu Paradorngym for the inaugural
technical knockout. With the win, Koseki broke Yoko Gushiken's Japanese national record of 13 consecutive successful world title defenses.[4] In October 2015, Koseki beat WBA champion Ayaka Miyao by unanimous decision to make her sixteenth defense and unify titles.[5]
Koseki won the WBC
minimumweight title on 17 December 2017, defeating reigning champion Yuko Kuroki by decision.[6]
She retired on 29 January 2018, at the age of 34.[7][8]
