Wanheng grants WBC crown rematch to Tatsuya
World Boxing Council minimumweight champion, Wanheng Menayothin (52-0, 18 KOs), will make his next defense on March 1, against a well-known rival, the Japanese Tatsuya Fukuhara (21-6-6, 7 KOs), who has won two fights to earn a rematch since he lost a close fight with Wanheng in November of 2017.
This will be the eleventh defense of the WBC minimumweight belt that Menayothin won in November 2014, when he overwhelmed Mexican Oswaldo Novoa.
Wanheng is Famed for surpassing the 50-0 record of Floyd Mayweather Jr, something which he did last year, when he defeated Filipino Pedro Taduran, improving his record to 51-0.
For Fukuhara this is a great opportunity, because in the first fight he had against Wanheng, was close.
