Ichiro Miyata's father was a former Japan and OPBF champion who instilled a passion for boxing in his son from an early age. In his prime, he was considered a legitimate world contender. The defining moment of his career came when he lost his seventh OPBF title defense to Randy "Raccoon" Boy—a brutal fight that left both men with serious, career-altering injuries. Boy, the father of Randy Boy Jr., managed to challenge for the world title afterward, but he was never quite the same fighter and died not long after.
