Injin Chi making his K-1 debut today

Injin Chi, the WBC world champ that walked away from the sport last year to pursue a K-1 career, will be making his debut today.

The fight is in Japan, and will apparently be shown live here in South Korea, at 4:00pm. I'll post an update for anyone interested.

I can't think of any other world-title-holding fighter that has left boxing for another sport. There were millons to be made! Apparently, the problem was with his management contract. I heard a promoter here say that Chi signed a contract that had no dates, making it a "lifetime" contract, by default. His only escape was to leave the sport.
