Ruiz To Face Kameda In
WBA Championship Showdown
At the conclusion of a private meeting held at the classic
and antique Geneve Hotel in Mexico City, Sampson Lewkowicz
of Sampson Boxing and promoter Shiro Kameda of Kameda
Promotions, are proud to announce that power-punching WBA
Interim Bantamweight Champion Hugo "Cuatito" Ruiz (29-1, 26
KOs) will face all-action WBA Bantamweight World Champion
Koki Kameda in an exciting title fight showdown later this
year.
The agreement, which already has the full blessing of the
WBA, stipulates that each fighter will first make an interim
title defense. Ruiz's fight is scheduled for March 17.
Kameda will fight in April 2012.
Los Mochis, Mexico's Ruiz won his interim belt in January
2011 with a technical decision over Alvaro Perez. He has
made two successful defenses over Francisco Arce.
Tokyo, Japan's Kameda became WBA Champ in December 2010 with
a 12-round unanimous decision over Alexander Munoz and has
made three successful defenses.
"I am lucky to have such a great partner in Mexico as Hector
Garcia of HG Boxing and it was a pleasure to negotiate with
Shiro Kameda, who, in agreeing to the interim defense first,
understood and honored my prior commitment I had with HG
Boxing and Azteca-TV," said Lewkowicz, President of Sampson
Boxing LLC. "I am looking forward to a terrific fight
between two aggressive warriors."
