On Saturday, February 24th, the younger of the Inoue brothers, Takuma will look to strengthen his grip on the bantamweight division as he fends off Phillippine challenger Jerwin Ancajas.

The 12-round bout will be Inoue’s first full defense after winning the vacant WBA World Bantamweight title back in April last year, getting a unanimous decision against Venezuelan Liborio Solis. Since then, Inoue has been inactive while former IBF junior bantamweight titleholder Ancajas stopped Colombian Wilner Soto in the fifth round back in June on the Carlos Adames-Julian Williams undercard.
