	Fighting Harada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harada was arguably one of Japan's most popular boxers; his fame reached international status, and Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Gomez declared that Harada was his idol as a child.

		Harada was hospitalized on stable condition, and the doctors at the hospital said he is expected to be released in one month.
