Brandon Figueroa has lost his WBA featherweight title on the scale after weighing 127.4lbs, 1.4lbs over the limit, for his fight with Tomoki Kameda.

Kameda made weight at 125.8lbs. If the two sides agree to go ahead with the fight, only Kameda can win the vacant title.

Figueroa had an hour to make 126lbs after his first attempt, Dan Rafael reported. He later went back on the scale at 126.8lbs, but that was still over and came after the one-hour limit had passed, so it did not count as an official attempt.
