WBC bantamweight champion, three-weight king, and rising pound-for-pound superstar Junto Nakatani, will defend his belt against Filipino contender Vincent Astrolabio on Saturday, July 20, at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.
Nakatani (27-0, 20 KOs) is a former flyweight and super flyweight champion, who is 6-0 with five knockouts in title fights. He won the vacant super flyweight crown in May 2023 with a crushing 12th-round knockout of Andrew Moloney in Las Vegas. Less than four months later, he defended the belt with a one-sided decision over Argi Cortes. He moved up three pounds in February and dethroned WBC bantamweight world champion Alexandro Santiago via sixth-round TKO.
Astrolabio (19-4, 14 KOs) is making his second bid for a world title following a May 2023 majority decision defeat to Jason Moloney for the vacant bantamweight belt.
