Angelo Leo steps into enemy territory to defend his IBF featherweight world title against Japan's Tomoki Kameda.
In August 2024, Leo secured the Knockout of the Year in a ten-round war against Luis Alberto Lopez. The American's highlight-reel finish earned him the IBF featherweight world title and many new fans.
On May 24, Leo (25-1, 12 KOs) returns to action for the first time since becoming a featherweight champion.
The 31-year-old will travel to Osaka, Japan, to take on former world champion Tomoki Kameda (42-4, 23 KOs), who will undoubtedly be the fan favorite in his hometown.
