JEWELS held a press conference today to announce matches for the May 16 Shinjuku FACE show. As was already announced as part of JEWELS business relationship with Shoot Boxing, Saori Ishioka will face an opponent TBA under Shoot Boxing rules. They also announced that Shoot Boxing regular Misato Tomita will have a match against an opponent TBA. She won over Megumi Fujii last year so I would not be shocked if Fujii is the opponent. When asked by Kamipro about the relationship with Shoot Boxing, JEWELS matchmaker Shigeru Saeki said he would like to work with K-1 too. The matches announced are as follows. In an Open Weight match, HIROKO will fight a gaijin TBA. HIROKO is 6' 170lbs so that limits who they might bring over. Her record is 6-1 and her last match was a win over Michiko Takeda on the Feb. 4 JEWELS show. In a 48kg match Misaki Takimoto will face Yukiko Seki. Takimoto is 9-10-4 and her last match was a loss to Yasuko Tamada on the Feb. 4 JEWELS show. Seki is 4-14 and her last match was a loss to Satoko Shinashi on the Oct. 23 DEEP show. In an Open Weight match, HARUMI will face Chiharo Oikawa. HARUMI is 0-10 and her last fight was a loss to Rina Tomita on the Feb. 4 JEWELS. Oikawa is a pro wrestler working for BATTLARTS and lost in her MMA debut to Super Benkei on the Feb. 4 JEWELS show. Other fighters scheduled to appear include Mika Nagano, Super Benkei, Shizuka Sugiyama, Shinsaki Ozawa and SHIHO. They plan to announce the rest of the card the end of next week. They also did the weigh-in for tomorrow's DEEP match between MIKU & Nicdali Calanic and it went OK.
