After a prolonged delay, Kameda Promotions held a press convention this morning to announce that IBF featherweight champion Angelo Leo is lastly set to defend his title in opposition to obligatory challenger Tomoki Kameda on Could twenty fourth in Osaka, Japan.
Leo (24-1, 11 KO) hasn’t seen motion since crushing Luis Alberto Lopez with certainly one of 2024’s nastiest knockouts final August. Two weeks later, Kameda (42-4, 23 KO) battled his well beyond Lerato Dlamini to avenge an October ‘23 upset loss, “El Mexicanito’s” solely defeat since an unsuccessful 2019 title massive in opposition to Rey Vargas.
Kameda had beforehand loved a stable reign as WBO bantamweight champion and a one-fight stint as a secondary tremendous bantamweight titlist.
As I’ve stated earlier than, there’s an excellent likelihood this one produces fireworks. Although neither is seen as a puncher, each excel at infighting and physique punching specifically. All indicators level to 12 rounds of nose-to-nose motion; hopefully there’ll be a simple means for us to look at.
