Kenshiro Teraji and Anthony Olascuaga square off in the main event live stream from Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday, April 8. The 12-round contest pits unified WBC and WBA light flyweight champion and challenger, who replaces originally announced WBO titleholder Jonathan Gonzalez. The latter withdrew with an illness.
Teraji (20-1, 12 KOs) captured his first world title by defeating Ganigan Lopez for the WBC 108-pound strap. Teraji made eight defenses before losing the belt via 10th-round TKO to Masamichi Yabuki. The 31-year-old avenged the loss by stopping Yabuki in the third round of their rematch to regain the title. Teraji then notched his most impressive victory last November by stopping Hiroto Kyoguchi in the seventh round to unify the WBC and WBA championships.
Olascuaga (5-0, 3 KOs), a 24-year-old upstart from Los Angeles, turned pro in 2020 and won a regional flyweight belt in his third pro bout. He went 3-0 in 2022, toppling Gilberto Pedroza by unanimous decision in March, stopping the previously unbeaten Gustavo Perez Alvarez in six in May, and icing Marco Sustaita in one round last October. He makes his 108-pound debut against Teraji.
