About Emiko Raika
- Emiko Raika (?? ???, born January 24, 1975 in Kyoto, Japan) is a Japanese female professional boxer and mixed martial artist.
- The former WIBA Featherweight Champion of the World, Raika is considered one of the greatest Japanese female boxers of all time.Although more Japanese women have taken up traditionally male sports such as karate, kickboxing and wrestling in recent years, many in Japan still believe that women should not box, because of the injury risk.
- Raika, who has suffered a broken nose and an eye socket fracture in fights, shrugs off the possibility of injuries. "When I told friends that I want to become a boxer, they were surprised and put down my decision because I am a woman," said Raika.
- "But I had to resist.
- I like boxing and I wanted to do it.
- In fact, I am expressing myself through boxing.
- I am fighting not to beat the opponent, but for myself."
