In the co-feature, Japan super-welterweight champion Yasuomi Soda made the first defense of the title he won in March, out-pointing challenger Junpei Tsujimoto on scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92. It was Tsujimoto's first-ever title shot after 12 years as a pro.

On the undercard, Kokoa Taguchi — the first female pro boxer signed by KODLAB, the gym run by former WBA world champion Takayoshi Uchiyama — won her professional debut by TKO in Round 6 (0:32) over the Philippines' Renz Dackel. Two East Japan Rookie King tournament bouts also went ahead: Kensei Onoue outpointed Kazuki Hinata 3-0 at super featherweight, and Tatsuya Takagi Gittichai stopped Negoro in Round 1 (2:53) at featherweight.
