Yuji Suzuki (?? ??, Yuji Suzuk, born 5 June 1949), known as Guts Ishimatsu (??? ??, Gatsu Ishimatsu) or Ishimatsu Susuki, is a former boxing world champion from Kanumashi, Japan.
After retiring from boxing, he has gained popularity as an actor and comedian. As a boxer, he was known for his unpredictable style, sometimes marking completely unexpected victories, and often losing in extravagant fashion as well.
He lost 14 of his 51 professional fights, a rather large number of losses for a world champion. He often appears as a foolish boke character on television, but this is an act he puts on for media purposes.
As a boxing commentator, he offers precise, intelligent commentary based on his own experiences in the ring.
He is also known to have a liking for bananas, and keeps numerous bananas lying around his home, should he suddenly develop a craving for one. His original ring name was Ishimatsu Suzuki, but was changed to Guts Ishimatsu, since he wanted himself to become a gutsy boxer.
Earlier in his career, Guts had often given up in fights where he was losing.
