Kazuto Ioka vs. Donnie Nietes: Date, fight time, TV channel and live stream

Kazuto Ioka and Donnie Nietes fight for the second time in four years after the WBO ordered a rematch.

Ioka is now the WBO junior bantamweight champion after defeating Aston Palicte in June 2019 and has made four defences since taking the strap.
