<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Both fighters have remained active since then and enter the proposed rematch on the heels of significant wins. Takuma, 22-2 (5 KOs), retained his WBC bantamweight title with a unanimous decision over former four-division champion Kazuto Ioka earlier this year. Nasukawa, 8-1 (2 KOs), recorded the biggest victory of his boxing career by defeating former unified super flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada.<\/p>\n Nasukawa\u2019s status as the WBC\u2019s mandatory challenger has kept him in line for another opportunity at the title, despite the decisive nature of the first encounter. The prospect of an immediate rematch may divide opinion among fans who believed Takuma had settled the rivalry in their initial meeting.<\/p>\n If finalized, the contest would match two of Japan\u2019s most recognizable names in the lower weight classes. Takuma would be pursuing another successful defense of his WBC title, while Nasukawa would attempt to avenge the lone defeat on his professional boxing record.<\/p>\n No official announcement has been made, but if Luna\u2019s report proves accurate, Takuma and Nasukawa will renew their rivalry in what could become one of Japan\u2019s most anticipated boxing events of the fall.<\/p>\n Robert Segal is a boxing journalist at Boxing News 24 with more than a decade of experience covering fight news, previews, and analysis.
