Yoshiki Takei vs Yuttapong Tongdee

Takei, 10-0 (8 KOs), will revisit old business as he is rescheduled to face Thailand’s Yuttapong Tongdee, 15-0 (9 KOs), in the second defense of his WBO bantamweight title. The bout will headline a May 28 event at the Yokohama Buntai arena in Takei’s hometown of Yokohama, Japan.
