A unification bout at 108 pounds has been announced for Tokyo. Japan’s Kyosuke Takami will put his WBA light flyweight crown up against Puerto Rico’s René Santiago WBO version on December 17th at the iconic Kokugikan Arena. The event, promoted by Teiken Promotions, will also feature a WBA bantamweight world title clash between Seiya Tsutsumi and Nonito Donaire. Takami, just 23 years old, captured the black-and-gold belt last July 30th in Yokohama by stopping Erick Rosa via tenth-round technical knockout. The 33 year-old Santiago is a surprise champion who stunned the boxing world earlier this year when he traveled to Japan and upset Shokichi Iwata on March 13th, also at Kokugikan. Despite entering as the underdog, Santiago dominated the fight from start to finish, dethroning the defending champion by wide decision. Even with the win, Santiago's pro record is junst 14-4. Takami remains undefeated at 10–0. The other two 108-pound champions are Carlos "Triple C" Canizalez and Thaningsak Simsri, who hold the WBC and IBF titles respectively.
