Appearing as a guest of the professional boxing event Lead: Battle of Power, Marlon Tapales has become the focus of attention by the achievement table he owns. In 15 years of professional boxing competition, Tapales won 37/40 matches, holding the world championship belt in 2 weight of Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight.
The victory over Murodjon Akhmadaliev in April helped Tapales win two WBA (Super) and IBF weighing Super Bantamweight. In this weight class, the holder of the remaining 2 championship belts (WBO and WBC) is Naoya Inoue. The Japanese boxer has just won TKO Stephen Fulton for the first time he ranked Super Bantamweight.
Immediately after the competition between Inoue and Fulton, Marlon Tapales appeared to meet Inoue on the stage. This is something that both can encounter each other in the near future. The winner in this pair will officially hold the entire championship of the Super Bantamweight, thereby becoming an absolute champion.
In the mass media, both Inoue and Tapales have not officially confirmed information about a competition. But on the sidelines of Lead: Battle of Power, Marlon Tapales said his colleagues were talking about the match against Inoue. Most likely he will encounter the “monster” in December 2023.
Tapales has had 15 years of professional boxing. His achievement is 40 matches, including 37 victories (19 no) and 3 defeats. The strong play helps him be called by the nickname “Philippine nightmares”. A remarkable point about Tapales is that he plays the legendary match like the legendary Manny Pacquiao.
