Kyonosuke Kameda (27, MR Gym), ranked 6th in the Japan featherweight division and 7th in the OPBF, will headline the “SAIKOULUSH Vol. 5” event in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on April 17. The announcement was made on the 10th at the MR Gym in Sakai, Osaka. Kameda is set to face WBO Latino champion Adrian Robledo (27, Argentina) in a 12-round bout for the vacant WBA Gold featherweight title. Kameda holds a record of 16-5-2 (9 KOs), while Robledo enters the contest at 12-1 (6 KOs).

Last year, Kameda faced elite international opposition, including Luis Nery in Mexico, Alan Picasso in the U.S., and John Riel Casimero in Kyrgyzstan. While he suffered defeats against Nery and Picasso, he neutralized Casimero’s power to secure a decision victory.
At the press conference, Kameda remarked, “Having faced big names in my last three bouts, this opponent is a step down. I intend to go in, trade shots, and score a knockout to demonstrate my true ability.” Having opted out of a domestic super featherweight tournament with a 10 million yen prize in favor of pursuing a path toward a world title, Kameda remains ambitious about a potential “cousin showdown” against former world champion Tomoki Kameda (TMK, 34). “Right now, I want to win this fight and then take on either Nery or Tomoki,” he stated.
“SAIKOULUSH” is a series of events promoted by former three-division world champion Koki Kameda, scheduled to be held in Kyrgyzstan over three consecutive days starting April 17. Kyonosuke will feature in the opening event, SAIKOULUSH Vol. 5. The second day will be headlined by Nery vs. Casimero, while the final day will see WBA world super flyweight No. 11 ranked Ayumu Sano (22, LUSH) challenge interim champion David Jimenez (33, Costa Rica). The events will be streamed live on the SAIKOULUSH OFFICIAL YouTube channel.
