Early career

edit

Tsutsumi made his professional debut on 13 July 2022, in a bout against Jhon Gemino. Tsutsumi was declared the winner via wide unanimous decision after controlling the duration of the bout.[3][4] Tsutsumi's second outing as a professional was against Pete Apolinar on 31 December 2022. In the sixth round, Tsutsumi scored the first knockdown of his career after landing a combination of punches. Despite Apolinar recovering from the knockdown, Tsutsumi secured the win after outboxing his opponent for the majority of the bout.[5]

On 31 May 2023, Tsutsumi faced former world title challenger Jeo Santisima for the vacant OPBF featherweight title. Tsutsumi was able to secure the win after outboxing his Filipino opponent.[6] Tsutsumi returned to the ring on 31 December 2023, as he faced Luis Moncion Ventura. Tsutsumi started the bout aggressively and bloodied the nose of his opponent in the second round. During the third round, Tsutsumi landed a hard shot which sent his opponent to the canvas. Ventura was able to recover from the knockdown, but was floored for a second time less than a minute later which resulted in the referee calling an end to the bout in the third round.[7]

His next bout was against former WBA bantamweight champion Anselmo Moreno on 17 May 2024. A day prior to the fight, Tsutsumi reportedly weighted in as much as 3.5lbs over the featherweight limit of 126lbs.[8] In the bout itself, Tsustumi was able to drop his opponent with a left hand in the third round. Moreno recovered from the knockdown, but was put on the canvas for a second time later in the third round. Tsutsumi was declared the winner after Moreno was counted out following the second knockdown.[9] On 19 April 2024, it was announced that the Japanese Boxing Commission had suspended Tsutsumi until 16 October 2024 for failing to make weight before the bout with Moreno.[10]
