Alexandro ‘Peque’ Santiago will defend his World Boxing Council bantamweight title against the Japanese Junto Nakatani on February 24 in Tokyo, Japan.
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 defeat in November 2021.
While undefeated Nakatani (25-0-0, 19 Ko’s) fights him at 118 pounds after having been champion in two different divisions, namely flyweight and super flyweight.
A high-quality high stakes card, as that same night Takuma Inoue will face Jerwin Ancajas, while Kosei Tanaka will fight Christian Bacasegua.
