Early Wednesday, Teiken Promotions unveiled at a press conference the undercard for the WBC bantamweight title eliminator between Tenshin Nasukawa and Juan Francisco Estrada on April 11.
The event will be broadcast on Prime Video at the Kokugikan in Japan.
The undercard will feature a pair of Japan vs. Mexico fights as fast-rising junior bantamweight Tomoya Tsuboi (3-0, 2 KOs) will face former junior flyweight titlist Pedro Guevara (43-5-2, 22 KOs).
Tsuboi is rated at No. 4 by The Ring at junior bantamweight.
The 29-year-old made his professional debut amid plenty of fanfare, needing two rounds to stop Boonrueang Phayom in March. He followed that by beating Van Thao Tran by decision three months later before taking a considerable step up and stopping veteran former world champion Carlos Cuadras (TKO 8) on November 24.
Guevara, a former WBC champion at 108 pounds, was stopped by Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez (TKO 3) in an attempt to win Ring/WBC titles in 2024.
Elsewhere, Kyosuke Takami (10-1, 8 KOs) will look to bounce back from losing his WBA junior flyweight title when he faces Angel Ayala (18-1, 8 KOs), also trying to rejuvenate his career after losing his IBF flyweight title last year. The crossroads fight will take place at flyweight.
Takami, who is rated No. 4 by The Ring at 108 pounds. Ayala is rated at No. 6 by The Ring at flyweight.
