Fifth-ranked WBA contender Tsutsumi was originally scheduled to challenge for the WBA title in Saudi Arabia last December, but was forced to withdraw from the opportunity after sustaining an eye injury during training. Having fully recovered, this bout marks his return to the ring.
His opponent, Batista, holds an undefeated record of 14 wins, including 10 knockouts. He is an orthodox fighter noted for his aggressive, powerful punches. In addition to the Tsutsumi-Batista main event, the card will feature five 8-round bouts, including Takara Kawaguchi (Kyoei) versus Shota Kajino (Kadoebi Jewel), and Kosei Nogami (Ohashi) versus Kaiki Yuba (YUVAX). The event will be broadcast live on Lemino.
