TOKYO, JAPAN-Kyoei Promotions will present a WBA double world title bill at the Ariake Coliseum, Tokyo, Japan on June 4. Unbeaten WBA feather champ Chris John (33-0, 19 KOs), Indonesia, will risk his belt against ex-WBA 122-pound champ Osamu Sato (27-2-3, 16 KOs), Japan, over twelve rounds. Also, unbeaten Lorenzo Parra (22-0, 17 KOs), Venezuela, will make the first defense of his WBA flyweight title since dethroning previously undefeated Eric Morel as he will put his belt on the line against Japanese national champ Takefumi Sakata (22-1-1, 9 KOs). It will be a highly anticipated doubleheader before Japanese aficionados.
