As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, former world champion Tomoki 'Mexicanito' Kameda will return to the ring on Saturday after more than a year of inactivity. The fight will take place in Mexico City, against veteran contender Edgar Martinez, as part of a card being staged by Zanfer Promotions.

The two fighters weighed in on Friday, with Kameda coming at 123-pounds, and Martinez a pound lighter at 122. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the super bantamweight division.

Kameda has not fought since September 2015, when Britain's Jamie McDonnell saddled him his second loss as a pro in their battle for the 'regular' World Boxing Association title from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Tomoki, one third of the first trio of brothers to become world champions in boxing history, has a record of 31-2 with 19 knockouts while Edgar ¨Chololo¨ Martínez has a journeyman's record of 20-13 10 KOs.

Tomoki's brothers, Koki and Daiki Kameda, are former world champions who both retired last year.

Unlike his well known brothers, Tomoki's career was groomed in Mexico instead of Japan. He speaks fluently in Spanish.

"I am very happy to be back and in my second home, Mexico. I learned a lot in recent fights, and especially after the last fight. I have worked very hard in these last 10 months, I feel pretty strong. I sure I will get the victory this Saturday," Kameda told ESPN Deportes.

Tomoki, 25, will fight for the seventeenth time on Mexican soil, and he even made his pro debut in the country.

"I'm going to give my Mexican people the usual, a good show. I feel good good when I'm in Mexico and there is no better way to pay [the fans] than with a win," Kameda said.
