Japan's Koki Kameda will defend his World Boxing Association bantamweight title against Yonfrez Pareio of Venezuela in April, his gym announced on Thursday.

The bout, to be fought on April 7 in Osaka, will be his sixth defence of the title since winning it when he beat Alexander Munoz of Venezuela in December 2010.

"I'm going to prepare and try to win by a knockout in my favourite city of Osaka," said Kameda, 26. "I will become a father for the second time later this year. I'm going to fight for my children and wife."

Should be a good fight, the Kameda brothers are pretty decent. The younger brother Tomoki, who is still undefeated had a couple fights in Mexico where they seem to like him. Another two solid boxers coming out of Japan, not spectacular but well rounded fighters. Watched Koki's only loss to Pongsaklek, a real chess match. I'll be watching this event for sure.

Pareio just got ko'd by Hugo Ruiz last year. Kameda should rematch Ruiz on neutral ground, but won't.
