Tenshin Nasukawa will face Juan Francisco Estrada in a WBC bantamweight title eliminator on April 11 at Kokugikan in Tokyo, topping a tripleheader that also features key fights in the lower weight classes.
The fight will be broadcasted on Amzon Prime only for members who are in Japan and worldwide on DAZN.
Nasukawa (7-1, 2 KOs) enters the bout following a unanimous decision loss to Takuma Inoue, while Estrada (45-4, 28 KOs) returns after a June win over Karim Arce Lugo, his only outing since losing to Jesse Rodriguez the year prior. The matchup pits a younger, developing contender against an experienced former two-division champion.
In the co-feature, Tomoya Tsuboi (3-0, 2 KOs) takes a step up against veteran Pedro Guevara (43-5-2, 22 KOs) at super flyweight. Tsuboi turned professional just over a year ago and now faces a seasoned opponent whose past defeats have largely come in close decisions against top-level competition.
Another notable bout sees Kyosuke Takami (10-1, 8 KOs) meet Angel Ayala Lardizabal (18-1, 8 KOs). Takami, a former light flyweight titleholder, moves forward after a setback against Rene Santiago, while Ayala looks to rebound from a stoppage loss to Masamichi Yabuki that cost him the IBF title.
