WBC flyweight champion Koki Kameda will defend his title against Thai “interim” title holder Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in Japan within a few months, say Pongsaklek’s promoters.

Thai promoters Wirat and Piyarat Wachiraratanawong initially wanted the WBC match to be held in Thailand but later agreed with their Japanese counterparts to have Kameda and Pongsaklek fight in Japan in either late March or early April this year.

In addition, they also agreed to let WBC stawweight champion Oleydong Sithsamerchai, another of their top boxers, fight challenger Yasutaka Kuroki in the same event, although Kuroki is scheduled to fight fellow Japanese boxer Takumi Suda on February 1.
