Shortly following his knockout loss to Róman Gonzalez last September, former two-division champ Akira Yaegashi had designs of one day becoming a three-division champ. That dream remains alive, although he will now head in the opposite direction in weight.
On the heels of an ill-advised move down the scale to junior flyweight, Yaegashi (20-5, 10KOs) will make his ring return on May 1 and will now campaign in the junior bantamweight division. The 32-year old is given a layup for his first fight back, as he will face Thailand's Songsaenglek Phosuwangym.
The bout comes in supporting capacity to the junior lightweight title fight between defending champ Takashi Miura and former featherweight titlist Billy Dib. [Click Here To Read More]
