Boxing will start the week with an early morning card streamed by ESPN+ from Tokyo, Japan. Unified junior flyweight champion Kenshiro ‘The Amazing Boy’ Teraji (21-1, 13 KOS) will face Hekkie Budler (35-4, 11 KOs) in the main event. Both fighters stepped on the scale earlier today, with Teraji weighing 107.2 lbs. and Budler 107.8 lbs. Both made it under the junior flyweight limit of 108 lbs. so we will have a main event tomorrow.
The co-feature has WBO super flyweight champion Junto Nakatani (25-0, 19 KOs) facing Argi Cortes (25-3-2, 10 KOs). Nakatani came in at 114.7 lbs. and Cortes at 114.5 lbs. Both came in under the super flyweight limit of 115 lbs., so we will see the return of Nakatani on ESPN+.
