WBC champions Hozumi Hasegawa and Eagle Kyowa will face Mexican challengers in a title doubleheader at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on Nov. 13, boxing officials said Friday.
Hasegawa will fight top-ranked Genaro Garcia in a bantamweight match postponed after the Japanese champion broke a chest bone in June, while Japan-based minimumweight Thai boxer Kyowa will take on seventh-ranked Lorenzo Trejo.
It will be the third title defense for both Hasegawa, who has a 20-2 career record with seven knockouts, and Kyowa, who is 16-1 with six KOs. Garcia is 35-4, including 20 knockouts, and Trejo is 25-14 with 13 KOs.
