Three weeks after postponing the bout due to “international instability,” 3150Fight announced that Luis Nery vs John Riel Casimero will join their June 6th SAIKOU x Lush show in Aichi, Japan.
The show currently features two IBF title fights, which see Willibaldo Garcia and Masamichi Yabuki defend their respective belts against Andre Moloney and Rene Calixto.
Nery (37-2, 28 KO) was famously banned from competing in Japan following his two victories over Shinsuke Yamanaka, which saw him fail a drug test
following their first meeting before blowing weight in their second. The Japanese Boxing Commission ultimately allowed Nery to return six years later to meet Naoya Inoue, who got off the canvas to brutally stop “Pantera” in 2024.
He’s since stopped Kyonosuke Kameda and taken a wide technical decision over Sathaporn Saart.
Casimero (35-5-1, 24 KO) has fought three of his last four on Japanese soil, including a knockout over Tom Mizokoshi in Aichi last December. Despite a bevy of controversy in and outside of the ring, the 37-year-old has lost just once in the last nine years, an uninspiring UD against the aforementioned Kameda the prior October.
Pretty damn stacked card, honestly, especially for being free on YouTube.
