7/17 – Ali Raymi (21-0, 21 KO’s) vs. Prince Maz (8-1, 6 KO’s) – 22 May Sports Stadium, Sanaa, Yemen
Raymi’s no title holder, but the 40 year old minimum-weight version of Butterbean has racked up a 100% KO record with all stoppages coming in the first round. Both fighters careers have been based solely Sanaa, Yemen, which is also hometown to both.
*Raymi won via RTD 1. Maz did something no other fighter had done against Raymi yet; he made it to the end of the first round.
7/18 – Zolani Tete (18-3, 16 KO’s) vs. Teiru Kinoshita (19-0-1, 3 KO’s) – Portopia Hotel, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan
Three times a charm for Tete. The former WBF flyweight champ lost two IBF super flyweight eliminators in 2011 and 2012 before finally winning one last November to secure his shot at the vacant IBF super flyweight title. His undefeated opponent is the current Japanese super flyweight champ with five title defenses but no world title fight experience.
7/19 – Brian Viloria (33-4, 19 KO’s) vs. Jose Alfredo Zuniga (11-5-1, 5 KO’s) – Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macao, Macao S.A.R., China
The former flyweight champ meets a former minimum-weight regional titlist in a scheduled 10 rounder on the under card of Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Sod Kokietgym. Viloria, who also held the world light flyweight title, lost the WBA and WBO flyweight titles over a year ago, but came back with a 10 round decision over Juan Herrera earlier this year. Zuniga is the current WBC International Silver light flyweight title holder, and lost his last bout to Alberto Rossell for the interim WBA World light flyweight belt.
