Just learned that undefeated 3-weight champion Kosei Tanaka (12-0, 7KO) and current WBO Flyweight title holder, will take on former IBF and WBA Light Flyweight “Super” Champion Ryoichi Taguchi (27-3-2, 12KO) on March 16th at the Gifu Memorial Center in Gifu, Japan.

There were hopes these two would meet when they were both title holders at Jr. Flyweight but that didn’t pan out after Tanaka suffered injuries to his eyes and then moved up in weight, while Taguchi beat Milan Melindo to unify titles.
