Boxer Seon Okazawa is scheduled to participate in the Paris Olympics this summer. He talked about how he feels about his second Olympics. Seon Okazawa, selected to represent the 71kg class at the Paris Olympics: “With less than 100 days left (until the Olympics), I think it’s time to switch to training for the actual event.” Boxing: 71kg class to participate in the Paris Olympics Seon Okazawa, who has been unofficially confirmed. On April 19th, he was seen working out at a gym in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Seon Okazawa: “As expected, the time I can practice at Kanoya has become shorter recently, so when I come back here, it’s my starting point, so I remember that it all started from here, and I want to work hard again. It’s a place where you can’t get over it. It’s a place where you can especially feel your spirit.” Okazawa lost in the second round at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. He felt mortified. Still, he has learned something. Seon Okazawa: “At the Tokyo (Olympics), I realized that there’s no point in not being strong two weeks before the Olympics, and a month later I became world champion, but there’s no point in that. I think some teams are competing to see how much adjustment they can make in the two weeks (of the Olympics).” Although Okazawa is from Yamagata, Kagoshima is also a special place for him. Seon Okazawa: “I feel blessed to have been supported by so many people, and I hope to be able to give something back in the form of a gold medal, so first of all, I want to become a person who can at least give back.” “I want to at least win a gold medal. I’m going to go get a gold medal!” This will be his second time at the Olympics. I will make up for my regrets from last time on the world’s best stage. Okazawa is scheduled to hold training camps both overseas and in Japan starting in late April, and will be competing in the boxing competition at the Paris Olympics starting July 27th.
