All set for Santiago vs. Nakatani<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alexandro ‘Peque’ Santiago will defend his World Boxing Council bantamweight title against Junto Nakatani on February 24 in Tokyo, Japan.<\/p>\n

The champion from Tijuana will make his first defense of the world title that he won against the legendary Nonito Donaire last July. Peque’ (28-3-5, 14 KO’s) arrives with a streak of four consecutive victories after a defeat in November 2021.<\/p>\n

Nakatani (25-0-0, 19 Ko’s) faces him at 118 pounds after having been champion in two different divisions (flyweight and super flyweight).<\/p>\n

It will be a high-quality card, as that same night Takuma Inoue will face Jerwin Ancajas, while Kosei Tanaka will fight Christian Bacasegua.<\/p>\n

This Friday the official weigh-in of the card took place. Santiago weighed 117.7 pounds, while Nakatani stopped the scale at 117.5 pounds, showing that both are in excellent shape to compete for the WBC 118-pound WBC Green and Gold Belt.<\/p>\n

The fight will be broadcast on Amazon Prime for Japan and on ESPN for Latin America and USA.<\/p>\n
