Ancajas set for bantamweight title clash vs Takuma Inoue

MANILA, August 27 ------ Jerwin Ancajas is back in the world title picture, this time in a different weight class. The former world champion is slated to take on Japan’s Takuma Inoue for the WBA bantamweight title, according to Fight News Asia. The 12-round title tiff is slated to take place on Nov. 15.

Ancajas is coming off a fifth-round stoppage against Colombian Wilner Soto in his first bout at a heavier weight class since losing his IBF junior bantamweight title to Fernando Martinez.

Following that victory, Ancajas has already expressed willingness to clash with Takuma. “Si Takuma kasi may belt na at nagpatunay na talaga isa sa magaling sa 118 kasi hawak niya yung WBA. Gusto nating hamunin siya,” said Ancajas.
