Menayothin vs. Fukuhara in May

World Boxing Council minimum champion Wanheng Menayothin (52-0, 18 KOs) was scheduled to defend his crown on April 24 against Japan’s Tatsuya Fukuhara (21-6-6, 7 KOs), but the date has changed for promotional reasons.

The rematch  between the two warriors will take place in Chonburi, Thailand, on May 24.

For Menayothin, this fight will be the eleventh defense of the minimum title that he won in November 2014, when he defeated former Mexican champion Oswaldo Novoa.

For Fukuhara this is a great opportunity, as in the first fight he had against Wanheng, he was very competitive.
