With both fighters known for their firepower, fans anticipate fireworks inside the ring and are not expecting the fight to go the full mile as both fighter will be looking to knockout the other.

After a back-and-forth discussion with the Japan Boxing Commission (JBC), the bout was finally set after Japan allowed boxing’s resumption.
Both fighters are currently on a roll and hold decent momentum after Magramo took down his last seven fights while Nakatani knocked out his last three.
