What time is the Masanori Rikiishi vs Eduardo Nunez fight today? Ringwalks, running order, streaming, how to watch on DAZN

Masanori Rikiishi and Eduardo Nunez will put their credentials as world champion contenders on the line this week when they face off in Yokohama today.

The former will enjoy home advantage in pursuit of the IBF super featherweight title, but will know he will need more than local support to claim the vacant belt.

Like himself, Nunez is a top operator with just a single early career loss on his record and the chops to justify seizing the belt, entering unusually as the away favourite.
