Shinsuke Yamanaka (山中 慎介 Yamanaka Shinsuke?, born October 11, 1982) is a Japanese professional boxer. He is currently a unified bantamweight world champion, having held the WBC title since November 2011 (making twelve consecutive defences) and The Ring title since September 2016. Yamanaka is the fifth-longest reigning bantamweight world title holder in history.
Yamanaka captured the vacant WBC bantamweight title in his first world title shot against Mexico's Christian Esquivel via an eleventh round technical knockout after knocking him down in the sixth and eleventh rounds at the Yoyogi National Stadium Second Gymnasium in Tokyo on November 6, 2011. Yamanaka was presented with the Rookie Award both in the forty-fourth Japan Professional Sports Awards and Japan’s Boxer of the Year in 2011.
Yamanaka won the vacant The Ring bantamweight title in September 2016 with a seventh-round technical knockout victory over Anselmo Moreno. This was a rematch of their September 2015 WBC bantamweight championship bout, which Yamanaka won via split decision. Yamanaka has currently made twelve successful consecutive defences of the WBC and The Ring bantamweight titles and is currently ranked 9th in The Ring (magazine) Pound for pound listings.
