Tomoki Kameda is set to avenge his most recent defeat.

The former WBO bantamweight titlist is given the chance to get it right the second time around versus South Africa’s Lerato Dlamini. The two will run it back on March 31 at Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall in Aichi, Japan. Former three-division champion-turned-promoter Koki Kameda held court during a press conference Thursday to confirm the featherweight sequel.

The bout will take place less than six months after their twelve-round affair last October 7, won by Dlamini (20-2, 11KOs) in a stunning upset in Tokyo. Tomoki Kameda stood in the ring stunned as one card of 115-113 in his favor was overruled by matching scores of 116-112 for the visiting Dlamini, who earned by far the biggest win of his career.

Dlamini (20-2, 11KOs) will now fight for just the third time outside of his native South Africa. His first fight on the road came in a twelve-round, unanimous decision defeat to James ‘Jazza’ Dickens in their October 2022 IBO featherweight title fight in Liverpool, England. Two wins have followed, including his shocker over Kameda last October.

Kameda previously won four straight bouts and was the top-rated WBA junior featherweight contender. A chance to push for a mandatory position was lost, as he is no longer in line to challenge undisputed champion and superstar countryman Naoya Inoue (26-0, 23KOs).

The only thing now on his mind is revenge. Kameda pushed older brother Koki to make this fight, to the point where he has vowed to retire if he suffers a second straight defeat.

Kameda held the WBO bantamweight title for two years from his August 2013 victory over undefeated Paulus Ambunda in Cebu, Philippines.

The win saw the Kameda family enter the Guinness Book of World Records as the only trio of brothers to win major titles. Daiki Kameda, Tomoki’s older and Koki’s younger brother, added the IBF junior bantamweight just five weeks later, which saw all three brothers enjoy simultaneous reigns. The distinction established a second Guinness Book of World Records feat, and one that will likely never be matched.
