Will be interesting to see Koki at Super Flyweight. He has looked more than beatable at Bantamweight. A winnable fight for him here but there's a lot of if's and buts..

Wait... so what's up with this fuckery?

If it's in Japan... what's Koki to do? I thought he still doesn't have a gym

I thought Koki successfully moved to another gym?

Koki was denied his transfer in the last week of August. The JBC declared UNITED failed to meet their criteria.

Would seem likely Watanabe will lose the purse bid and the fight will be in the Philippines, US (Tomoki's undercard?), or South Korea.

TBS have apparently dropped the Kameda brothers taking their funding away so if Wanatabe (who have Tokyo TV money to play with) win then the fight will give rise to a few issues.

What no one is thinking of is that Teiken or an international promoter will snap it up on the cheap and whack it one a show. Heck Top Rank might use it to fill up a Macau card or something.

JBC basically ran the Kameda's out of the country

What is curious is how this is determined to be a purse bid/mandatory Kameda hasn't fought or won any eliminator at SuperFly ?
Does his regular title at bantum somehow grant him that shot.

Seems like. JBC Def Kameda, KO

Not sure how Koki has gotten this chance, seems like like the WBA thought he was worth more $$$ than he is, especially now that TBS has dropped him

Thx for the update

I think it has to do with Koki's 'belt' he dropped to secure the title shot. The WBA certainly work in funny ways...

Tomoki signed with Haymo. Will be another milker and loose all his Japanese fans and their respect for money to fight bums.
