OSAKA, JAPAN – Angelo Leo and Tomoki Kameda were both inside the 126lbs limit ahead of their IBF featherweight title fight.
Leo is making his first defense of the title he won against Luis Alberto Lopez back in August with a Knockout of The Year contender. Leo will face former bantamweight champion Kameda, who, now at 33 years old, will likely be heading into his last chance to claim a championship in a second weight division.
Both men weighed in the same at 57kg (125.7lbs) ahead of the contest that will take place at the Intex Arena in Osaka, Japan. The action will kick off from 11pm ET this Friday and will be broadcast live on the ProBox TV app.
Pedro Taduran and Ginjiro Shigeoka also both successfully made the 105lbs weight limit ahead of their rematch for the IBF minimumweight title. Taduran caused a huge upset last time out, defeating the heavily favored Shigeoka by ninth round stoppage.
