By LITO DELOS REYES

Orthodox Masamichi Yabuki of Nagoya will defend his Japanese light flyweight title against Toshimasa Ouchi of Himeji on Dec. 26 at Aioi Hall in Kariya, Japan.

The 28-year-old Masamichi (11W-3L-0D, 11KOs) scored a 1st round knockout on Tsuyoshi Sato to win the vacant Japanese light flyweight title last July 7, 2020, at Aioi Hall in Kariya.

Toshimasa, on the other hand, won a technical knockout against Takayuki Teraji in the 7th round last Oct. 19, 2019, at Central Gym in Kobe.

The 35-year-old Toshimasa, however, earlier lost to Kenshiro Teraji via a unanimous decision for the vacant OPBF light flyweight and Japanese light flyweight title in EDION Arena in Osaka.

Meanwhile, super bantamweight Teru Nobita will face Teru Nobita for the 6-rounder.

The promoter is Toshiro Matsuo of Midori Promotions.
