Shinsuke Yamanaka is set to defend for the 6th time his WBC bantamweight title he won in March 2011 next April against Belgian Stephane Jamoye. Jamoye, who surprisingly lost his EBU title in his last fight is still rated #3 by the WBC. It will be an uphill task for Jamoye against Yamanaka who has just been elected best Japanese boxer of 2013.
The Belgian was in training to fight Sebastien Gauthier for the vacant WBC International title on March 22 but opted for this world title opportunity.
Mirco Giulinani, manager of Jamoye, is now looking for another main event on his show in Herstal, Belgium on March 22.
Those in play are now Ermano Fegatelli, Geoffrey Batello or Dardan Zenunaj. Fegatelli is the frontrunner but has a career defining decision to make as his contract with Mirco Giuliani runs out and he has to resign or to change management.
