Boxer Llover inks deal with Kameda Promotions

Rewritten Article:

A game-changing move for 22-year-old boxing sensation Kenneth Llover – he's inked a promotional deal with Kameda Promotions, shaking up his career. Not just any deal, this one teams him up with Gerry Penalosa's Gerrypens Promotions and Kameda Promotions for the next three bouts.

Penalosa, renowned promoter, made the announcement on Cebu, sharing, "This is a massive career leap and an exceptional opportunity for Llover." He jetted off to Tokyo to finalize the deal with fellow champion-turned-promoter, Koki Kameda.

Llover's Kameda debut comes with a stiff challenge – he faces Mexican boxer Christian Medina on Sept. 20, 2025, in Nagoya. This is no ordinary match – it's a title eliminator for the No. 2 spot in the IBF bantamweight rankings, setting the stage for Llover's most significant bout yet.

Llover left quite an impression in his last two fights in Japan, clinching impressive first-round stoppages against Tulio Dekanarudo and Keita Kurihara. At present, he holds the No. 11 spot by IBF and No. 15 by WBC.

Should Llover secure a victory over Medina, it could be his fast-tracked ticket to a world title shot.

Medina brings a formidable record to the table - he's currently ranked No. 1 by the WBA and No. 7 by the IBF. After a string of victories since his defeat to the current IBF bantamweight champion Ryosuke Nishida in 2023, Medina emerged victorious in a fifth-round stoppage of previously-unbeaten Alexis Molina, seizing the vacant WBO Latino bantamweight title.

Llover, with a record of 14-0 (9 KOs), steps into the ring as the underdog against Medina's 24-4 (17 KOs).

This match promises high-stakes action, global exposure, and potentially a significant leap in Llover's career. A win could put him on a quick path towards a world title shot, while a loss for Medina might impact his current ranking and title chances. Llover's new partnership with Kameda Promotions could bolster his reputation and commercial support for his future battles.
