According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, beltholders Tomoki Kameda and Jamie McDonnell will fight in a Bantamweight unification bout.
“I’m delighted to deliver this huge unification fight for Jamie,” said McDinneHearn said. “Kameda will defend his title this Saturday and Jamie will fight Ramos on Nov. 22. Then, if they both come through, the pair will meet in a huge unification fight in the [United] States early next year.
“I’m so pleased Jamie will get his chance to shine in the big lights. He is a two-time world champion and now has the opportunity to unify the division. He deserves every credit. It makes the Ramos fight even more important. All eyes will be on him at the Echo Arena on Nov. 22 and it’s vital he gets the win and makes a statement to the U.S. audience.”
“We have a deal in place with Eddie,” said Luis DeCubas Jr. “Kameda side isn’t done because his main focus is on Saturday. He doesn’t even know about the fight yet [but] our plan is to take one title at a time starting with McDonnell and unify at 118 pounds. Tomoki will be one of boxing’s next superstars.”
“All fights are different, all opportunities are different, but we are always prepared to win,” Kameda said through a translator. “We’ll take what we get in the ring, but if the right hook to the body is there we’re going to take it. I’ve always dreamed of fighting in the U.S., and I’ve always dreamed of fighting on TV. Now that I’m here and I’ve signed with Al Haymon, I know all the doors will open for me. But our main goal is to win on Saturday and put on a good show for the fans.”
