Angelo Leo to defend title against Tomoki Kameda on May 24 in Tokyo

Angelo Leo put pen to paper today for the first defense of his IBF featherweight title.

Leo, 25-1 (12 KOs), was a significant underdog, but uncorked one of the punches of the year to separate Lopez from his belt in the 10th round in his Albuquerque homecoming. Leo delivered a huge left hook, and now will look to do the same against Japanese star Kameda, who is 42-4 (23 KOs) having turned pro in 2008. Now 33 years old, Kameda defeated Kevin Villanueva last March and then avenged a loss to South African Lerato Dlamini, winning a split decision in August.
