Saikou x Lush Boxing is promoting the show as part of a three-day boxing showcase. The company announced the bout will take place at the Gazprom Sports Complex.

Nery (37-2, 28 KOs) will fight in Kyrgyzstan for the second time in a row. The former bantamweight and junior featherweight titleholder scored an eighth-round technical decision against Sathaporn Saart in October.

That win marked the second straight victory for the 31-year-old southpaw from Mexico since Naoya Inoue stopped him in the sixth round in May 2024. Nery previously stopped Kyonosuke Kameda in the seventh round in February 2025.

Casimero (35-5-1, 24 KOs) is a former junior flyweight, flyweight and bantamweight champ who has fought to mixed results over the last three years (2-1-1). Casimero last fought in December, when he stopped Tom Mizokoshi in the fifth round in Japan.

In October, during the same card on which Nery beat Saart, the 37-year-old Filipino suffered a 10-round, unanimous-decision defeat to Kameda.
