Yokohama Boxing Results: Takei and Núñez Win Titles
The May 28, 2025, boxing card at Yokohama Buntai in Yokohama, Japan, featured two world title fights. Yoshiki Takei retained his WBO bantamweight title with a first-round stoppage of Yuttapong Tongdee, while Eduardo Núñez claimed the vacant IBF junior lightweight title by unanimous decision against Masanori Rikiishi. The Japanese event was promoted as the Lemino Boxing double world title match.
Takei stops Tongdee in the main event
Takei’s title defense ended at 2:07 of Round 1. The southpaw champion stepped in with a left to the body before following with a sharp combination that dropped Tongdee. The referee halted the bout, giving Takei a quick win and a successful second defense of his WBO bantamweight championship.
Núñez captures the vacant IBF belt
In the co-main event, Núñez outpointed hometown challenger Rikiishi over 12 rounds to win the vacant IBF super featherweight title, also known as the junior lightweight championship. The official cards were 115-113, 116-112 and 117-111. Rikiishi used movement and counters to make the fight competitive, but Núñez’s pressure and sustained work carried the decision. The result was a unanimous decision, not a stoppage.
Yokohama card results
The six-fight program included four additional bouts beneath the world title contests. Results from the event’s published Japanese fight report:
- Yoshiki Takei def. Yuttapong Tongdee by TKO at 2:07 of Round 1 — WBO bantamweight title fight.
- Eduardo Núñez def. Masanori Rikiishi by unanimous decision — vacant IBF super featherweight title fight.
- Tsubasa Narai def. Yuna Hara by TKO at 1:55 of Round 8 — Japanese super featherweight title fight.
- Ryu Isogane def. Tomoya Yamamoto by TKO at 1:00 of Round 6 — light flyweight.
- Kazuma Aratake def. Kitidech Hirunsuk by TKO at 2:13 of Round 2 — 49-kilogram bout.
- Ryuto Yamada def. Suriya Kraimanee by KO at 1:10 — super flyweight.
The corrected undercard outcomes matter: Narai won by a late stoppage rather than a split decision, Isogane finished Yamamoto, and Aratake also scored a stoppage. The earlier report incorrectly listed a majority draw for Aratake and placed the two world title bouts in the wrong order. The published results identify Takei-Tongdee as the main event and Núñez-Rikiishi as the semifinal.
