Nasukawa’s win on the all-bantamweight lineup came with three divisional titlists on site along with undisputed 122lbs champ Naoya Inoue, 30-0 (27 KOs). His seventh pro fight came on a night when countrymen Junto Nakatani, 30-0 (23 KOs) and Ryosuke Nishida, 10-0 (2 KOs), met in a WBC/IBF bantamweight title unification bout. Also on hand was four-division WBO titleholder Yoshiki Takei, 11-0 (9 KOs), whom Nasukawa has targeted as a future opponent.
