Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani will square off in a generational super-fight today, as the Japanese stars clash at the Tokyo Dome.
Inoue will put the undisputed super-bantamweight titles on the line against Nakatani, who – like his compatriot – carries an unbeaten record into this long-awaited bout.
Another similarity between Inoue, 33, and Nakatani, 28, is their dominance in multiple divisions; Inoue previously reigned as undisputed bantamweight champion and held gold at two lower weights, while Nakatani has held belts in three divisions, including a unified-title run at bantamweight.
Last time out, however, southpaw Nakatani (32-0, 24 KOs) struggled on his super-bantamweight debut, while – at the same event – Inoue (32-0, 27 KOs) eased to victory. What do those performances mean for today’s showdown?
