The historic Tokyo Dome card will also feature a high-level bout when Takuma Inoue faces veteran Kazuto Ioka in one of the most attractive matchups of the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Takuma Inoue, WBC bantamweight world champion, will look to solidify his reign against one of the most important fighters in the recent history of Japanese boxing. The younger brother of Naoya Inoue has built a strong career and will now face a significant test against a highly experienced opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the ring will be Kazuto Ioka, a four-division world champion and one of the most respected fighters in Asian boxing. At 37 years old, Ioka will attempt to make history, as a victory would make him the first Japanese boxer to win world titles in five different weight divisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The card will also include other notable matchups, namely the bout between Jin Sasaki and undefeated Sora Tanaka, as well as the fight between Toshioki Shimomachi and Reiya Abe.<\/span><\/p>\n
