Ever-developing Teiken Promotions on Tuesday announced a world title tripleheader and a WBA bantamweight eliminator in Yokohama, Japan, on March 15. The headliner will be an eliminator to decide the mandatory challenger to WBA bantam titleholder Seiya Tsutsumi between #1 Nonito Donaire (43-9, 28 KOs) and #4 Riku Masuda (9-1, 8 KOs). Beneath this sensational encounter of the hard-punching bantams, WBC light flyweight champ Knockout CP Freshmart (29-1, 11 KOs), Thailand, will put his belt on the line against ex-WBO ruler Shokichi Iwata (15-2, 12 KOs). Former OPBF titlist Jukiya Iimura (9-1, 2 KOs) will make an ambitious crack at WBO flyweight kingpin Anthony Olascuaga (11-1, 8 KOs), making his fifth title defense. Also, unbeaten WBA minimum champ Ryusei Matsumoto, (7-0, 4 KOs) will engage in a direct rematch with #4 Yuni Takada (16-9-3, 6 KOs).
It will take place at Yokohama Buntai (Cultural Gymnasium).
