Last December, Naoya Inoue completed his journey in Bantamweight. Japan “monster” easily won against Paul Butler, thereby acquiring all the most noble titles in this weight class. Inoue is also the first absolute champion of Bantamweight in the past half century.
In the night of conquering 4 boxing championships, Inoue has hinted that he still has many goals to conquer in the future. That is shown by the 30 -year -old boxer by continuing to play in the near future. He will play in the Super Bantamweight weight class and more severe opponents.
Instead of choosing a soft boxer to practice, Inoue asserted herself with a championship match as soon as he stepped on the weight of Super Bantamweight. The opponent he chose was Stephen Fulton, the world's No. 1 boxer in this weight class. Fulton is also holding two world championship belts, WBO and WBC.
According to the initial information, the match between Inoue and Fulton can take place around April or May. The two sides are very eager to have a confrontation in the shortest time. On Inoue's side, he did not have to recover too much after a completely overwhelming match, and Fulton was also very energetic.
At the age of 30, Inoue won the world championship in 3 different weight classes. The level of Japanese “monster” is something he has affirmed for many years. That is also the reason why Inoue decided to constantly fight, because he almost had no opponent in the same weight as him ever.
