Segawa, 18-5-1 (7 KOs), will fight for the second time since his debated majority decision loss to Bruce Carrington in September 2024. Segawa spent nearly a year away before returning last September and bouncing back with a good seventh-round TKO of the 20-1 Bryan Acosta, whose only other loss came against Ramon Cardenas. Segawa is 34 years old, is better than his record indicates and will have the advantage in experience but will be taking on someone who is young, undefeated and hungry.
