Earlier today it was announced that former WBC Flyweight champion Daigo Higa (18-2-1, 17) [比 嘉 大吾] would be back in the ring later this year, with a press conference announcing that he would be facing in form Thai fighter Songsaeng Phoyaem (18-2, 12) on November 15th at Korakuen Hall.
The bout, scheduled for 10 rounds at Bantamweight, will be Higa's 2nd contest since losing to Ryosuke Nishida in April 2021. Sadly for Higa his most recent bout saw him narrowly over-come Froilan Saludar, in a bout that saw Higa dropped before gritting out a split decision win, in a performance that seemed to suggest Higa was very much on the downside of his career. Although only 27 he certainly seems to have lost a lot with his forced move from Flyweight to Bantamweight and it's hard to really ever see him making a major mark at 118lbs. As for Songsaeng, the 22 year old Thai is ranked by the regional WBO Asia Pacific body at Super Bantamweight, and will be moving down in weight for this bout. Both of his losses so far have come in Japan, and both by stoppage, however he is currently riding a 12 fight winning record, and is unbeaten for over 3 years, with his last loss coming when he was 19. Whilst his 12 fight winning run sounds impressive his competition in those wins has been really poor. On paper this is a big step up for him, but he certainly has the momentum. Also announced for this card were several other Japan Vs Thailand bouts, including the second bout for Toshihiro Suzuki (1-0, 1) [鈴木稔弘]. who debuted in August. He will be up against Attanon Kunlawong (17-8-1, 13), in what is a very, very good looking bout over 6 rounds.
