Winning national and international title
On October 10, 2010, Ioka captured the Japanese light flyweight title.
Winning the world title
Ioka won the WBC strawweight title from Thai Oleydong Sithsamerchai via a fifth round technical knockout in the latter's seventh title defence in Kobe at the World Memorial Hall on February 11, 2011.
On June 20, 2012, in a match that marked the first time two Japanese fighters had met to unify world titles, Ioka defeated the WBA champion Akira Yaegashi via a unanimous decision at the Bodymaker Colosseum.[1][2][3] When asked whether the result would have been different unless he got swollen eyes, Yaegashi said "We should not think about it. There is no if's in boxing".[4] The day after the fight, Ioka decided to move up a weight division.[5][6]
