Takuma Inoue could fight Ioka on the same show as his brother Naoya

WBC bantamweight champion Takuma Inoue could face former four-division world champion Kazuto Ioka, reports BoxingScene.

The Japanese fighters may meet on the undercard of the bout between Naoya Inoue and Zunto Nakatani in May.

In November, Takuma Inoue (21-2, 5 KOs) defeated Tenshin Nasukawa by unanimous decision in a fight for the vacant WBC bantamweight title.

On 31 December, Kazuto Ioka (32-4-1, 17 KOs) knocked out Maikel Ordosgoitti in the fourth round.
