Satoshi Shingaki (新垣諭 Shingaki Satoshi) is a Japanese ex-boxer and former world champion. He along with Nobuo Nashiro are the fastest Japanese boxers to become world champions as they both won a world title in only their 8th professional bout.
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 setback.
Following a win since losing to Penalosa, 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 quit boxing permanently.
