Brandon Figueroa’s title lead is the only one without a defense.
Figueroa missed the 126-pound weight limit by 1.4 pounds, weighing 127.4 pounds in the first attempt at his WBA title defense against Tomoki Kameda on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Figueroa did not weigh in within the one-hour time limit for the second time, despite unofficially tipping the scales at 126.8 pounds.
It is unclear whether the Figueroa-Kameda fight will still take place in the co-feature of Sebastiani Fundora vs Ermal Hadribeaj at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan.
Fundora vs. Hadribeaj marks the fourth episode in the DAZN and TNT series “The Fight,” which attempts to show soccer to a mass audience in the United States.
Figueroa (27-2-1, 20 KOs) knocked out Nick Ball in February in Liverpool, England to capture the belt. He is a two-weight world champion, having previously held the WBC featherweight title for 2024-2025 and the WBC super bantamweight belt for 2021.
Kameda (42-5, 23 KOs) was the world’s number one contender for more than a decade, holding the WBO bantamweight crown from 2013 to 2014.
