IBF minimumweight champion Nkosinathi Joyi (21-0, 15KOs) has a tentative defense date against Japanese mandatory challenger Katsunari Takayama (24-4, 10KOs) on March 24th in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. They fought to a third round no-contest in January after an accidental clash of heads which left Takayama with a deep cut.
