In an eagerly awaited showdown, Filipino boxer Melvin Jerusalem is set to challenge Japanese fighter Yudai Shigeoka for the WBC minimumweight title in Nagoya, Japan. This 12-round bout, slated for Sunday, March 31 at the International Conference Hall, headlines a world championship doubleheader that promises to captivate boxing enthusiasts worldwide.

Melvin Jerusalem, a former WBO minimumweight champion, is on a mission to reclaim glory in the boxing ring. The 29-year-old secured a unanimous decision victory over Francis Jay Diaz last October, bouncing back from a setback against Oscar Collazo in May, where he surrendered his title. Jerusalem's resilience and determination to ascend once again to champion status make this bout against Shigeoka a must-watch event.

Yudai Shigeoka, at 26 years old, is a formidable opponent making his first defense of the WBC minimumweight title. Shigeoka earned the championship belt with a unanimous decision win over Panya Pradabsri last October and aims to maintain his undefeated record against Jerusalem.
