Takuma Inoue will make the first defense of his WBC bantamweight world title on May 2 at the Tokyo Dome.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the title vacant, Takuma Inoue faced fellow Japanese fighter Tenshin Nasukawa in a tough bout. After 12 rounds, the judges awarded the victory to Takuma Inoue.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Kazuto Ioka has been a world champion on three occasions. The first came in 2011 when he defeated Kittipong Jaigrajang to win the WBC minimumweight world title, which he defended three times.<\/span><\/p>\n

His second world title came in 2012 when he won the light flyweight championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third time was in 2019, when he became super flyweight world champion.<\/span><\/p>\n
