Park Kwang-cheol (Hangul: 박광철, Hanja:朴光哲 ), better known by his Japanese name Kotetsu Boku (朴 光哲 Boku Kotetsu?), is a South Korean mixed martial artist and kickboxer, competing in the Lightweight division. He has mostly fought in Shooto, where he was the Shooto Lightweight Champion, but has also fought in DREAM, King of the Cage, S-Cup, Cage Force and K-1 HERO'S. Boku is also a former ONE Lightweight Champion.
Boku made his professional debut against Dutch fighter Marc Duncan at Shooto: GIG East 7 on November 26, 2001, and won by submission in the second round. He also won his next two fights, against Takuhito Hida and Mitsuo Matsumoto, before losing to Takaharu Murahama at Shooto: Treasure Hunt 6 on May 5, 2002. He won his next fight against Toniko Junior, but again suffered a setback by losing the following two fights against Mitsuhiro Ishida and Kenichiro Togashi. Boku then had another four fights in Shooto, winning all four, before transferring to K-1 Hero's in 2005. He was the Shooto Pacific Rim Welterweight Champion, but vacated his title when he left for K-1 Hero's.
