SUN, JUL 7, 2024
Kokugikan, Tokyo, Japan
TBA
IBF super flyweight champion Fernando Martinez is slated to face WBA champion Kazuto Ioka on July 7 in Tokyo, marking an eagerly anticipated clash between two champions at 115lbs.
At a press conference held this morning at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, the stage was set for this compelling matchup. Thirty-five-year-old four-division champion Ioka, with a record of 31-2-1 (16 KOs), is gearing up for the second defense of his title, while Martinez, with an unblemished record of 16-0 (9 KOs), prepares for his third title defense.
Hailing from Argentina, Martinez embarked on his professional career in 2017. His most recent outing saw him secure an 11th-round stoppage victory over Jade Bornea last June in Minneapolis, further solidifying his status as a formidable force in the super flyweight division.
