Standout WBC Light-Flyweight Champion Ken Shiro (14-0-0, 8KO) of Japan, is stepping back into the ring to fight in a stay-busy bout against journeyman Saul Juarez (24-8-2, 13KO) of Mexico, on December 30th in Japan.

Shiro has had his world title since he defeated Mexico’s Ganigan Lopez in their 1st match 19 months ago, and is looking to make the 5th successful defense of his belt.

On the undercard co-headlining, newly-crowned WBO Super-Featherweight Champion Masayuki Ito (24- 1-1, 12KO) of Japan, will seek to make his 1st title defense against undefeated WBO #1 ranked Russian contender Evgeny Chuprakov (20-0-0, 10KO) in what promises to be a challenge of a fight.
