By Corey Erdman - There aren't too many things you can count on in boxing, but Kazuto Ioka fighting on New Year's Eve is one of them. Since his third year as a pro, Ioka headlining on the final day of the year has been an annual event, save for a brief retirement in 2017.

Except Luis Moncion Ventura who was clearly a step up and the toughest opponent to date for Hayato Tsutsumi.
