Takahiro Aoh (born 6 April 1984 in Ichihara, Chiba, Japan) is a Japanese professional boxer who fights at featherweight and is the current Japanese featherweight champion.^[1]

[edit] Professional career

Aoh turned professional in September 2003 at the Korakuen Hall, Tokyo. In his debut Aoh defeated fellow Japanese boxer Hiroshi Kashihara with a second round knockout.^[1]

After thirteen unbeaten fights Aoh beat Koji Umetsu for the Japanese featherweight title in March 2007.

Aoh lost via split decision to champion Oscar Larios on October 16, 2008. Despite flooring Larios in the 4th round, Aoh managed to lose a decision in the close and contested bout.

Fortunate for him, Aoh got another chance at Larios' title on March 12, 2009. There, he applied more offensive tactics which resulted Larios dropping in the 12th round. Aoh won the match by unanimous decision.^[2] On his first defense of the title held on July 14 that same year, Aoh lost to Elio Rojas by unanimous decision.
