Long-reigning bantamweight world titleholder Shinsuke Yamanaka and former titlist Anselmo Moreno will meet in a rematch Sept. 16 at Edion Arena in Osaka, Japan, Teiken Promotions announced Wednesday.

Also on the card, junior featherweight world titleholder Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 32 KOs) will defend his belt against former bantamweight titleholder Hozumi Hasegawa (35-5, 15 KOs).

Yamanaka (25-0-2, 17 KOs) won a hotly contested split decision against Moreno (36-4-1, 12 KOs) in their first fight last September. Two judges scored the bout 115-113 for Yamanaka, and one judge had the same score for Moreno.

Yamanaka, 33, of Japan, who has held his 118-pound world title since 2011, will be making his 11th defense in his rematch with fellow southpaw Moreno, 31, of Panama. In his most recent bout, he won a unanimous decision against former junior bantamweight titleholder Liborio Solis in March.

“After I completed my 10th consecutive title defense in March, I was hoping for a unification match or a big match overseas,” Yamanaka said during a news conference to announce the bout on Wednesday in Tokyo, according to the Japan Times. “But to keep my motivation, [Teiken promoter Akihiko Honda] set up the fight against Moreno, for which I’m thankful.

“I want to win in a better way [this time]. We’re going to work on our plans to do so. But if I get myself prepared properly, I have the confidence to win.”

Moreno, a defensive-minded fighter, held a bantamweight belt from 2008 until 2014 and made 12 defenses until he was upset by Juan Carlos Payano in a sixth-round technical decision. In his next bout, Moreno got a shot at Yamanaka’s version of the title and lost a close decision. Moreno has won his only fight since, a 12-round unanimous decision against former junior bantamweight titleholder Suriyan Sor Rungvisai on April 30 in Panama.

Ruiz, 29, of Mexico, will be making the first defense of the 122-pound world title he won when he stunningly knocked out Julio Ceja in just 51 seconds on Feb. 27 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Ruiz avenged a fifth-round knockout loss to Ceja in his previous bout last August.

Hasegawa, 35, of Japan, is one of the finest fighters from Japan in the past 20 years. He won a bantamweight world title in 2005 and made 10 defenses before losing by fourth-round knockout to Fernando Montiel in 2010. Hasegawa won a vacant featherweight world title in his next fight later that year but lost it in his first defense.

Then, in 2014, he challenged Kiko Martinez for a junior featherweight belt but was knocked out in the seventh round. Hasegawa has won two in a row since and is primed for another title shot.

“It’s been two years since my last title fight, and I’ve practiced hard every day, waiting [for this chance],” Hasegawa said at the news conference. “Now I shall only focus on my training. I’ve had so many fights in my career, and I don’t have to say a lot any more. I consider this my last challenge, and I’ll train as hard as possible so I won’t have any regrets.”
