Santiago and Nakatani-Face Time!

Alexandro ‘Peque’ Santiago will defend his World Boxing Council bantamweight title against undefeated 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 following defeat in November 2021.
While Nakatani (25-0-0, 19 Ko’s) moves up in weight to fight him at 118 pounds after having been champion in two different divisions, flyweight and super flyweight.

A high-quality card in store, to look forward to, as that very same night Takuma Inoue will face Jerwin Ancajas, while Kosei Tanaka will fight Christian Bacasegua.

Both Champion and Challenger were face to face in a press conference where they were respectful but each didn`t hesitate to promise, forecast and broadcast victory.
