Naoya Inoue, the pound-for-pound star from Japan, is eager to get back into the ring after his recent stoppage win over TJ Doheny. Inoue, also known as “The Monster,” dominated the fight and halted an injured Doheny in the 7th round. Fans and media are now eagerly awaiting Inoue’s next move. He wants to stay busy and has expressed interest in fighting again in December. Inoue mentioned that he faced zero damage in his last fight, making him ready for his next challenge. His Japanese promoter, Hideyuki Ohashi, has mentioned that Inoue might fight on either December 24th or December 26th.
Inoue’s next opponent is still up in the air, with possibilities including Sam Goodman, Inoue’s WBO and IBF mandatory challenger, or Murodjon Akhmadaliev, his current WBA mandatory challenger. Inoue seems open to facing either man and is ready for whatever challenge comes his way. While talks of a potential super fight between Inoue and Junto Nakatani, another rising star in Japanese boxing, have surfaced, Inoue hinted that Nakatani must first get past his brother, Takuma Inoue.
Takuma Inoue, also known as “The other Inoue,” is carving his own path in the boxing world. As the current WBA bantamweight champion, Takuma has showcased his skills in the ring. While not as powerful a puncher as his brother Naoya, Takuma has proven to be a formidable opponent with his boxing acumen. His recent victory over Jerwin Ancajas and decision win against Sho Ishida have solidified his position in the division. If Takuma faces Nakatani before his brother does and manages to defeat him, it sets the stage for a potential showdown between the two Inoue brothers.
The prospect of an all-Japanese super fight between Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani has captured the attention of boxing fans worldwide. If Takuma Inoue manages to defeat Nakatani, the matchup between Naoya and Nakatani becomes even more intriguing. With revenge as motivation and the desire to prove superiority, the stage is set for a massive showdown between the two rising stars. Japanese boxing is experiencing a surge in talent at the 118 and 122-pound divisions, with all eyes on these young fighters as they continue to make waves in the sport.
The future looks bright for Japanese boxing with talents like Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani leading the charge. As these two fighters continue to climb the ranks and face new challenges, the world of boxing eagerly awaits the next chapter in their respective journeys.
