Description

Tokyo’s Ariake Arena will host two consecutive days of championship action — eight fights and seven world title showdowns — streaming live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ during the early morning hours.

The action continues Monday, Oct. 14, as three-division king Junto Nakatani defends his WBC bantamweight world title against Petch Sor Chitpattana. In the 10-round co-feature, former kickboxing world champion Tenshin Nasukawa (4-0, 2 KOs) faces Filipino contender Gerwin Asilo (9-0, 4 KOs) for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific bantamweight title.

Nakatani (28-0, 21 KOs) captured the WBC strap in February with a sixth-round TKO against Alexandro Santiago. The 26-year-old southpaw authored a devastating encore in July, knocking out Vincent Astrolabio in the opening round. Sor Chitpattana (76-1, 53 KOs) returns to Japan for the first time since his 2018 interim title bout loss to Takuma Inoue. Since that setback, he has an impressive 28-0 record with 20 knockouts.
