Kaovichit vs Kameda on October 6 For WBA Title

By Ronnie Nathanielsz

WBA flyweight champion Denkaosan Kaovichit is scheduled to defend his title against Japan’s Daiki Kameda on October 6 in Osaka, Japan.

Denkaosan’s promoter and manager Niwat Laosuwannawat said it has been decided that the 33 year old Thai world champion will put his title on the line against the 20 year old Kameda.

Denkaosan has a record of 47-1-1. With 20 knockouts while Kameda has a record of 15-1 with 11 knockouts.

In his last title defense Denkaosan scored a twelve round split decision over another Japanese Hiroyuki Hisataka on May 26, 2009 while Kameda won by a 4th round knockout over Jose Alberto Cuadros on August 30 this year.

The Thai champion’s manager was quoted by the Thai Rath newspaper as saying the fight “will be tough for Denkaosan as Daiki Kameda, like his brother Koki, is a strong opponent and one of Japan’s rising stars.”

However, Niwat said he is confident that Denkaosan will be able to win his first title defense because of the fact that he is being trained by former world champion Khaosai Galaxy.

At the same time Niwat said Denkaosan will have a good line-up of challengers if he survives the upcoming match against Kameda.
