    TJ Doheny, cheered on by a passionate group of Irish fans who made the trip to Tokyo, upset Ryosuke Iwasa to win a junior featherweight world title on Thursday at Korakuen Hall.

    Although blood was running down his face from cuts under both eyes and he seemed to fade over the final few rounds, mandatory challenger Doheny was awarded a unanimous decision in a fight that streamed live in the United States on ESPN+.

    Judge Tony Marretta, of Australia, scored the fight 117-112, American judge Jonathan Davis had it 116-112 and Japan's Katsuhiko Nakamura had it 115-113.
