On May 21, Angelo Leo is set to defend his International Boxing Federation featherweight title against Tomoki Kameda in Osaka, Japan, a choice driven by a lucrative offer despite Kameda’s hometown advantage. Leo, who won the title with a ninth-round knockout of Luis Alberto Lopez, has previously sparred with Kameda, which he believes diminishes the challenger’s home-field edge. As a 4-to-1 favorite, Leo is confident in his improved skills and has adapted well to the new environment in Japan, ready to focus on securing a victory for himself and his family.
