Kazuto Ioka to unify vs. Fernando Martinez

A 115-pound unification bout was officially announced on Monday: on July 7th in Tokyo, the legendary Kazuto Ioka (pictured) will risk his WBA title against Fernando Martinez and the IBF version.  Both fighters were at the press event, which drew a large attendance. Ioka, a four division champ with a record of 31-2-1, will look for the unification against the undefeated Argentinean at home in a fight that looks pretty even and promises action. The fight will take place at the Kokugigan Arena in the Japanese capital. Both Ioka and Martinez talked about what they expect from the fight and their desire to keep both belts. Both have already started their training camps, which they stopped momentarily to fulfill this promotional event and once ready they will continue working to reach one hundred percent for the fight.
