Professional career

Teshigawara made his professional debut on 28 July 2011, scoring a third-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Naoto Tabata at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.[3]

After compiling a record of 14–2–2 (8 KOs) he challenged WBO Asia Pacific bantamweight champion Jetro Pabustan on 12 October 2017 at the Korakuen Hall. Teshigawara scored a knockdown in the ninth round. In the tenth, after Pabustan received a point deduction for excessive holding, the referee called a halt to the contest to save Pabustan from further punishment, awarding Teshigawara his first professional title via tenth-round TKO. At the time of the stoppage Teshigawara was ahead on all three judges' scorecards with 89–81, 88–82, and 87–83.[4]

He began 2018 with two successful defences of his WBO regional title – a unanimous decision (UD) against Jason Canoy in February[5] and a fifth-round knockout (KO) against Teiru Kinoshita in June[6] – before moving up in weight to face Glenn Suminguit for the vacant WBC-OPBF super-bantamweight title on 11 October at the Korakuen Hall. Teshigawara captured his second professional title, defeating Suminguit via fifth-round KO.[7]

He made three successful defences of his WBC regional title in 2019, scoring stoppage wins against Yuki Iriguchi in February;[8] Shohei Omori in August;[9] and Shohei Kawashima in December.[10]
