Assuming all goes well in their upcoming bouts, Hekkie Budler and Katsunari Takayama appear on course for a strawweight unification bout later this year.
Outspoken promoter Rodney Berman—who guides Budler’s career—has set aside a November 6 date in Monte Carlo for such an event, although several factors remain in play in order for the fight to happen.
