Filipino flyweight Rey Migreno may earn a shot at WBA champion Daiki Kameda (16-2, 11 KO’s) if he beats Thailand’s former world champion Denkaosan Kaovichit in Uttaradit, Thailand on March 26.
Denkaosan on the other hand hopes to win over Migreno and earn another crack at Kameda whom he defeated to win the title in a majority decision on October 6, 2009 before losing the title in a twelve round unanimous decision to Kameda in Kobe, Japan in a rematch last February 7.
Thai media quoted Denkaosan’s promoter Niwat Laosuwannawat as saying Denkaosan is still rated No. 2 and can exercise his right for a third fight which Niwat hopes to stage in Thailand at the end of the year.
However, everything depends on the outcome of the fight against Pan Asian Boxing Association champion Migreno, the 23 year old Filipino who won the title with a 3rd round knockout over Ponluang Sor Tanapinyo in Sara Buri on December 31, 2009.
Niwat was quoted as saying “Although this is a PABA match, we are planning to propose to the WBA that they allow the winner to challenge Daiki Kameda in accordance with our rights.”
The Thai promoter added “Therefore, if Denkaosan is able to win this bout, he will gain an opportunity to reclaim his world title, but should he fail Migreno will instead get the world title chance.”
Denkaosan said he did not have much time for training but would not underestimate the Filipino.
He also said he did not accept his earlier defeat to Kameda and would like to have another rematch, which would become the third fight for him and the Japanese.
