Junto Nakatani defeated Sebastian Hernandez Reyes in a unanimous decision, 115-113, 115-113 and 118-110, in his super-bantamweight debut, as you can see how the fight played out live.
The bout served as the co-main event on the Naoya Inoue vs. David Picasso card. He entered the fight as a three-weight world champion (flyweight, junior-bantamweight, and bantamweight), knowing a win sets up a potential fight against the undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue in 2026.
Nakatani started the year with a third-round TKO win over David Cuellar Contreras, which was followed up by a stoppage win over Ryosuke Nishida in the 6th round to become the WBC, IBF and Ring Magazine bantamweight champ. Meanwhile, Hernandez stopped Kevin Luis Munoz in March. That was followed by his biggest win against Azat Hovhannisyan in May. Nakatani survived immense pressure to come through.
