Angelo Leo plans to make the first defence of his IBF featherweight title in March against Tomoki Kameda in Japan. Yudai Shigeoka features in the co-main, seeking to reclaim his WBC minimumweight title from Melvin Jerusalem after getting dropped twice and edged out by the Filipino last year.

Not too surprising but where's Ginjiro and what about the rematch between Garcia and Calixto? Are they planning to put them on a different card in the spring, maybe April I guess?
Good for Tomoki. I've always liked El Mexicanito. Leo should rightly be favored but it's no sure thing.
Finally Leo vs Kameda is the 24th March and Yudai Shigeoka vs Melvin Jerusalem II is for the 30th March but both in the same city of Japan (Tokoname).
I thought the Leo vs Kameda was rumored to be May 24th, not March 24th? They got Ayala vs Yabuki already set for 29th March to be part of the two day event with 30th Yudai, doubt they get another on the 24th.
It's possible for the moment the only thing is sure Ayala vs Yabuki is on 29th March and the 30th March Yudai vs Melvin Jerusalem II + Navapon Khaikanha vs Matcha Nakagawa. They have also the same promoter (Koki Kameda). Nothing is confirmed for the official date already for Kameda vs Leo the IBF championship on Featherweight (with also the promoter Koki Kameda)... the last date I have is 24th March... but maybe you're right.
