Daiki Kameda (亀田 大毅 Kameda Daiki?) (1989-01-06 in Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese professional boxer in the flyweight division. He is one of the three Kameda brothers to take up boxing.

Kameda has made it his custom to sing a song for the audience after each of his victories. [1]

[edit] Professional career

Kameda lost to Daisuke Naito, then the WBC flyweight champion, in Naito's first title defense on October 11, 2007. Despite making comments before the match that he would commit seppuku if he lost, his manager later confirmed that he would not. His boxer's license was suspended by the Japan Boxing Commission for one year due to professional misconduct during the match.[2]

Up until this point Kameda's father who was his chief second, has said that he will not seek to have his seconds license reinstated and that he will step down as a trainer altogether. Fans and analysts are divided on whether or not Shiro Kameda will return to training regardless of the statements he has made in the press. However, some believe that he is sincere so as to prevent any further controversy surrounding his sons' future fights.
