According to asianboxing Ioka is going to sign with a new gym based in Saitama that will allow him to fight again in Japan. That coincides with talks going on between ioka and palicte's team Anyway, let's get down to predictions. Im going for ioka via close UD although do hope for an upset for palicte.
