Nakatani, 32-0 (24 KOs), is a former three-division titleholder who won world titles at flyweight and junior bantamweight and then unified a pair of belts at bantamweight. In 2025, he made short work of David Cuellar in February; stopped Ryosuke Nishida in their June unification bout; and then moved up to 122lbs in December on the undercard of Inoue-Picasso, surviving a very tough challenge from unbeaten Sebastian Hernandez via unanimous decision.
