With Naoya Inoue smashing Nonito Donaire inside of two rounds in Tuesday’s rematch, the Japanese star now lacks just one of the four major titles in the bantamweight division, and made clear that he wants to take a crack at the undisputed championship in his post-fight interview. That title is the WBO’s, and is currently

The undefeated Garcia next faces Javier Fortuna on July 16 at the Crytpo.com Arena in Los Angeles on DAZN, and the rising 23-year-old phenom is looking for a
8:56 AM ET Mike CoppingerESPN Naoya Inoue is known as “The Monster” for good reason. When he met Nonito Donaire in November 2019, Inoue was genuinely tested for the first time in ESPN’s Fight of the Year. He defeated Donaire (42-7, 28 KOs) via unanimous-decision on that night, but 31 months later, Inoue made easy
Posted on 06/07/2022 By: Sean Crose The first fight was a classic. The rematch was essentially a blowout.

In a rematch of his memorable 2019 bout with Nonito Donaire, Japan’s Inoue thrilled his

Naoya “The Monster” Inoue lived up to his moniker in terrifying fashion this morning with a two-round mauling of Nonito Donaire to claim the WBC bantamweight title. He then made clear his desire to become undisputed champion at 118, and it turns out that the feeling’s mutual. WBO champ Paul Butler tells DAZN that his
Newly crowned IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina is ready to pursue bigger fights and more gold in his weight class. This past Saturday night in Liverpool, Cordina captured the IBF belt with a brutal one-punch knockout of Japan’s Kenichi Ogawa in the second round.

10:49 AM ET Naoya Inoue can’t be denied any longer. In the wake of Canelo Alvarez’s loss to Dmitry Bivol, and now, Inoue’s second-round TKO of future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire on Tuesday in Saitama, Japan, there’s little doubt in my opinion that “Monster” is the now the pound-for-pound king.
