The IBF has ordered a junior-featherweight elimination bout between former world champions Jerwin Ancajas and Ryosuke Nishida.

Rosado stopped Argentina’s Crispulo Javier Andino in the first round of the main event at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California.

“I want to become world champion again,” Ancajas said. “I’m always in the gym getting ready for a big fight.”

Former junior bantamweight titleholder Jerwin Ancajas will face Ruben Dario Casero on August 2 at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California, Ancajas advisor Sean Gibbons told BoxingScene on Thursday.

Promoter Paco Damian, CEO of Paco Presents Boxing, has signed super flyweight contender Jonathan Rodriguez to a multi-year promotional contract.

An agreement in principle has been reached for Japan’s longtime champion Kazuto Ioka to face Argentina’s Fernando Martinez in a junior bantamweight title unification bout in Japan the first week of July.

Junto Nakatani is one of my favourite active fighters. On Saturday he produced a wildly impressive performance against a very-tough champion in Alexandro Santiago, who previously impressed when he won his title from Nonito Donaire. He was brilliant.

Jerwin Ancajas is aware of the shortcomings that saw the former IBF super flyweight champion fail in his attempt to become a two-weight world champion in his bantamweight title challenge against Takuma Inoue.

By Declan Warrington - Takuma Inoue made the first defense of his WBA bantamweight title by impressively stopping Jerwin Ancajas in nine rounds at Tokyo’s Kokugikan.
