Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) bantamweight champion Malcolm 'Eagle Eye' Tunacao returns to action on November 11 in a non-title, 10-round bout against Japan's Masahito Igawa at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
Tunacao, ranked WBC no. 3 bantamweight, took the OPBF title with a lop-sided decision win late last year over Thai Kumarnthong Pluemkamol also in Tokyo.
He has so far defended it twice with a controversial draw against Kohei Ohba and an 11th-round knockout against Yasuo Kijima last May 6.
The southpaw from Cambaro hopes to challenge reigning WBC bantam champ Hozumi Hasegawa next year, although a defense of his OPBF title in the early part of 2007 is also a possibility.
