Three bantamweight firefights, including a pair of world title showdowns, are set for Monday, Feb. 24, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo. In the main event, pound-for-pound star Junto Nakatani will defend his WBC crown against unbeaten Mexican puncher David Cuellar. Newly crowned WBA champion Seiya Tsutsumi makes his first defense against former flyweight king Daigo Higa in the all-Japanese co-feature. And, in a 10-round special feature, kickboxing legend Tenshin Nasukawa continues his burgeoning boxing journey against Australian former world champion Jason “Mayhem” Moloney.

Nasukawa Tenshin, who is ranked 15th in the world in all four major organizations (as of January 2025), will face former WBO world bantamweight champion Jason Moloney. If you defeat the former world champion with high experience points, your vision will open up a lot. Nakatani Junto, the WBC World Bantamweight Champion who has won three weight classes, intercepted David Quellar, who has won all 28 matches (18 KOs). Will it be possible to explode and become the nickname "Big Bang"? Tsutsumi Seiya, who won the WBA World Bantamweight Championship from Inoue Takuma, faces a conclusion against Higa Daigo, who drew four years ago. This is a card that will surely be settled with a batting battle and a KO. Exclusively stream these popular fights! *The start time may vary.
