Milan Melindo and Ryoichi Tagauchi will engage on an 108 pound unification bout on December 31st in Tokyo, Japan, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
“I have waited for this, and finally it’s here,” Melindo said at his news conference. “I am confident as always. I love fighting in Japan, and I am excited to face their champion. I recovered and rested well after my battle with Budler. I believed my training will be enough for this one.”
“This is something big not only for ALA Promotions but for Philippine boxing,” ALA promotions’ Michael Aldeguer said. “The Japanese boxers are dominating the boxing scene in the small weight divisions right now, and it is a great challenge for Milan to put them on notice.”
