Sabillo has promised to win again in 2020.
He has currently 27 wins with 13 knockouts against seven defeats and one draw.
Kimura, on the other hand, has 18 wins with 11 knockouts against three loses and two draws.
The 31-year old orthodox boxer has recently lost to Carlos Canizales of Venezuela by a unanimous decision in the WBA World light flyweight title last July 26 in China.
