Kickboxing career

He made pro debout in 2006, fighting mostly in RISE promotion. In 2012, with a promotion record of 8-1, he rematched Raoumaru for vacant RISE Heavyweight title. Shimizu dominated the fight, just like the first fight, this time scoring 3rd-round knockout with a high kick.[3]

Next year he dropped weight and fought for vacant RISE Light Heavyweight title against, making a revanche against Makoto Uehara at RISE 92 in Tokyo, Japan. Uehara got the split decision victory, with a point deduction from Shimizu in the second.[4]

He dropped weight again and won Road to Glory Japan -85 kg tournament on March 3, 2013, defeating Yuki Niimura and Magnum Sakai by decisions on the same night and joined Glory's middleweight division.[5]

He made Glory debout on September 28, 2013, replacing Steve Wakeling[6] and joining Glory 10: Los Angeles - Middleweight World Championship Tournament. He lost in semi finals to eventual winner Joe Schilling by unanimous decision.[7][8][9]

He was scheduled to fight Hiromi Amada at RISE 99.[10] He won the fight by a third round head kick KO.[11]

Shimizu participated in the 2015 Shootboxing Heavyweight tournament. He scored a first round knockout of Shakar Peterson in the semifinals. He won the final against Nangoku Chojin by a first round KO as well.[12]
