IOka-Yaegashi would be a crackin fight and but Ioka is contemplating a move up to 108..

Speaking of Joyi.. he was due for a fight against Katsunari Takayama but it's been cancelled twice now...

Any idea why??
Found this:

Milenkovic said it would have been even more of a rush had the Eastern Cape Economic Affairs and Tourist Board not renaged at the last minute on the deal to sponsor Nkosinathi Joyi’s IBF strawweight title defence against Japan’s Katsanari Takayane.

That fight was due to take place on Saturday night in East London.

“It’s a shame about the Joyi cancellation because he is widely considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the country,” Milenkovic said.

Efforts were in progress to stage Joyi’s mandatory defence against Takayane before the end of November.
