Akihiko Honda’s Teiken Promotions has announced unbeaten Japanese prodigy, former kick-boxing superstar Tenshin Nasukawa (5-0, 2 KOs) to participate in a crucial bout in his greatly condensed career against former world champ Jason Moloney (27-3, 19 KOs), Australia, at Ariake Arena, Tokyo, on February 24. Tenshin has technically improved in every fight, having beaten strong opponents such as Luis Robles Pacheco, Jonathan Rodriguez and Gerwin Asillo. But Jason Moloney, as shown by scoring a bad knockdown of current WBO bantam champ Yoshiki Takei in his title-losing bout this May, will be a formidable opposition for the rising star Nasukawa.

This very interesting confrontation will be followed by a couple of world title bouts: WBC bantam title go between Junto Nakatani against unbeaten Mexican challenger Daid Cuellar and WBA bantam championship bout of newly crowned Seiya Tsutsumi and ex-WBC flyweight ruler Daigo Higa. Seiya, when amateur, had defeated Daigo twice to his credit, but Higa strongly wishes to win his second world belt.

This sensational show will be shown by Amazon Prime Video in Japan.
