Daiki Kameda’s gym is preparing to protest the result of the recent WBA flyweight match that allows Denkaosan Kaovichit to retain his title, while demanding for a rematch.

Japanese challenger Kameda fought Thai title holder Denkaosan in the match held in Osaka on Tuesday October 6. The Thai emerged as the winner in his second title defense, earning scores 115-113 from two judges, while the third gave a 114-114 draw.

Noriyuki Igarashi, head of Kameda's gym, said he would submit a protest to the World Boxing Association as he believed Kameda should have won the fight.

Thailand’s WBC “interim” flyweight title holder Pongsaklek Wonjongkam is scheduled to fight WBC flyweight ninth-place contender Richard Garcia this month.

According to a press conference held yesterday, the match of Pongsaklek and Filipino pugilist Garcia will be part of a boxing and muaythai event at the southern Thai town of Krabi on October 22, and will be broadcasted by Thailand’s Channel Seven network from 2.00 p.m. onward.

Promoter Wirat Wachiraratanawong said the Krabi match would be the last fight of Pongsaklek this year, and the boxer may get to challenge the non-interim champion in February next year. The title is currently held by Japan’s Naito Daisuke, who will defend it against fellow Japanese boxer Koki Kameda in Tokyo on November 29. 

WBA flyweight champion Denkaosan Kaovichit of Thailand has defeated Japanese challenger Daiki Kameda by 2-0 decision in Japan yesterday.

At his second title defense held at the Osaka Central Gymnasium in Osaka on Tuesday October 6, Denkaosan was able to use good timing to score many hits, mostly aimed at the body, while successful at fending off Kameda’s offenses.

By sixth round, the Japanese challenger seemed to realize he was not in good position and started to aggressively pressure the Thai. In response, Denkaosan focused on blocking Kameda and swiftly avoiding engagement.

Thailand’s Usanakorn Kokietgym has become the new WBC female bantamweight title holder after beating Bulgaria’s Galina Koleva Ivanova yesterday.

Ivanova lost her title to the Thai challenger by unanimous decision of 97-93, 96-94, and 92-92 after 10 rounds of fight at the match held in Usanakorn’s home province of Nakorn Ratchasima on October 5.

Usanakorn was reportedly performing well and able to land many good hits, but became injured in the ninth round, from a head clash. The Bulgarian pushed harder in the last two rounds, but it was already too late for her to turn the table.
