In Tokyo at the Ryogoku Kokugikan National Sumo Arena, Junto Nakatani will face Vincent Astrolabio for the WBC bantamweight title. The titleholder claimed it in February from Mexican Alejandro Santiago, who failed his first defense. For the 26-year-old Japanese fighter, this was his third title fight, and he emerged victorious in all. The representative of the Philippines defeated Nawaphon Kaikanha of Thailand last summer (technical knockout). In the spring of 2023, Steel contended for the WBO title at 53.52 kg but lost to Australian Jason Moloney by judges' decision.

The media service Megogo will broadcast the Junto Nakatani vs. Vincent Astrolabio fight online on July 20, 2024.

The native of Inabe-gun debuted in boxing in April 2015. He has won all twenty-seven bouts (twenty KOs). Interestingly, almost all bantamweight titles currently belong to Japanese fighters, except for the IBO, which is still vacant. Previously, Junto successfully defended WBO titles at 50.8 and 52.1 kg. The Ring magazine presented a forecast of what the pound-for-pound ranking will look like in five years. Nakatani was placed third. The authors predict that he will achieve thirty-seven wins and only one loss. Vincent Astrolabio began his professional career just four months later compared to his opponent. Steel has participated in twenty-three fights and secured nineteen victories (fourteen KOs). In early 2022, the Filipino fighter won the WBC International bantamweight title, and earlier he held the WBO Oriental title in the same division. Over the past six years, the boxer has only won one bout by judges' decision.
