Luis Nery vs. Kyonosuke Kameda - February 22, 2025

[Ruthless-RKO]

Luis Nery to face Kyonosuke Kameda on February 22nd in Mexico

Luis Nery’s return to action will reportedly pit him against Japan’s Kyonosuke Kameda in Mexico next month

Having surrendered his pound of flesh to Japan in last May’s violent knockout loss to Naoya Inoue, super bantamweight contender Luis Nery has his sights on some revenge in his backyard, as Julius Julianis reports that “Pantera” will move up to 126 to face Kyonosuke Kameda on February 22nd in Mexico.

Jake Donovan confirms the news as well. Kameda Promotions previously announced a pair of shows, but has yet to confirm the lineups, which could reportedly include Angelo Leo vs Tomoki Kameda for Leo’s featherweight title and a rematch of Rene Calixto vs Willibaldo Garcia for the vacant super flyweight belt.

Kameda (15-3-2, 9 KO), cousin to the famous fighting brothers, is unbeaten in his last nine over middle-of-the-road domestic competition. His most credentialed foe was former title challenger Suriyan Kaikanha, who hadn’t faced a solid foe since losing to Anselmo Moreno in 2016 and spent seven years on the sidelines.

Easy work for Nery (35-2, 27 KO) on paper, though he’s had his share of rocky moments in the past. It will be interesting to see whether his power carries up, as his only appearance above 122 was what I like to call a “garbageweight” fight against the hapless David Carmona in which the relevant parties recognized the farce and instituted a limit neither would struggle to make.
