Junto Nakatani looks to continue his unbeaten record within the sweet science against a game underdog later this week.
Junto Nakatani vs. Vincent Astrolabio will take place inside Kokugikan and the fistic fireworks will take place in Tokyo, Japan.
Nakatani will enter the ring to defend his WBC bantamweight title in the coming days. This will be the first defense of his championship and he possesses a 27-0 record with 20 knockouts as a professional pugilist. Nakatani will need to get by a combatant boasting a 19-4 record with 14 stoppages to his credit in Vincent Astrolabio.
Legendary eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao promotes Astrolabio and a big win here over the multi-division world champion, Nakatani could do a lot to potentially launch another massive boxing star from out of the Philippines.

Junto Nakatani vs. Vincent Astrolabio information continued
The main event is certainly intriguing but the Junto Nakatani vs. Vincent Astrolabio fight card has several attention grabbing facets to it. In fact, there will be two other title fights to look forward to beyond the championship clash in the event's headliner.
Kosei Tanaka will defend his WBC junior bantamweight championship against Jonathan Rodriguez in a matchup where the combatants have close to 50 professional boxing bouts combined.
The third championship clash will see Riku Kano and Anthony Olascuaga collide for the vacant WBO flyweight belt.
Another Jonathan Rodriguez will also be competing on the card and he will be clashing with acclaimed kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. Nasukawa is a veteran of the Rizin circuit and also famously, or perhaps infamously, fought Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing bout years back.
Tenshin Nasukawa looks to go 4-0 within professional boxing and faces an individual in Rodriguez who has 20 prior professional boxing fights to his credit.
Plus, Issei Aramoto versus Mongontsooj Nandinerdene rounds out the card in a super middleweight matchup.
