WBO junior bantamweight champion Kazuto Ioka (28-2, 15 KOs), Japan, 33, has made weight at 115-pound class limit. His challenger WBO #1 ranked Donnie Nietes (43-1-6, 23 KOs), Philippines, 40, tipped the beam at 114.5 pounds, a half-pound under the limit.

The defending champ Ioka is eager to avenge his previous split decision loss to Nietes on New Year’s Eve 2018.

  • If Ioka wins this, Ioka – Chocolatito??? If Nietes takes, why not Nietes – Donaire in the Philippines.

      • You mean Donaire is a bantamweight Burucho? I know, but he said he could make 115, that’s why I mentioned him.
