After a brief but thrilling battle in 2023, super atomweights Saki Kitamura and Eru Takebayashi are set to collide for a second time on September 6th at Deep Jewels 54 in Tokyo, Japan. The Kitamura-Takebayashi rematch is expected to headline the card, which was announced this past week.
Kitamura badly broke Takebayashi’s jaw early in the pair’s first meeting, and survived an onslaught of offence from her bloodied foe, before the doctor halted the fight. In the Deep Jewels 54 co-main event, Nonoka Sakamoto looks to stay unbeaten when she faces Honoka Shigeta at 54kg.
