IBF title.Career history
After being unbeaten in 5 bouts (4 wins and a draw), Shingaki challenged
Dodie Boy Penalosa for the vacant IBF light flyweight title on December 10, 1983. Unfortunate for him, he was knocked out in 12 rounds and met his first set back.Following two consecutive victories, Shingaki got another world title shot on April 15, 1984. There, he fought Elmer Magallano for the vacant IBF bantamweight championship and won by TKO in the 8th round. He defended it against Joves De La Puz, three months and twenty days later.
On his second defense, Shingaki fought
Jeff Fenech on April 26, 1985. The Japanese champion lost title as he was stopped in the 9th round. They met again on August 23 in the same year. Once more, Shingaki was finished, in 4 rounds.He won his last 3 matches and quitted boxing permanently. For unknown reasons, no other Japanese boxers would fight for IBF championship since then.
