News about Naoya Inoue

Undisputed world super-bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue recovered from the first knockdown of his professional career to stop Luis Nery in devastating fashion. The 31-year-old Japanese, who has held world titles at four different weights and two undisputed, went down in the first round, but picked himself up to secure a sixth-round victory after putting his Mexican opponent down for the third time with a brutal right hand. Nery stunned both the champion and a 55,000 sell-out crowd at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, where Buster Douglas shocked Mike Tyson in 1990, when barely two minutes into the fight he floored Inoue with a swinging left hook.

XclusIVE INTERVIEW BY OLI GAMP: Despite being a bin man just three years ago, British super bantamweight champion Liam Davies says his rapid rise to a world championship shot has not surprised him. After blitzing his way to 15 straight victories in one of the sport's most surprising rags to riches tales, the Telford-born actor is one of the most promising fighters in his division, having served as a homeless agent during the pandemic to make money and keep himself alive. Davies stayed a boxing dream alive by finishing at the end of grueling shifts before gaining enough funds and sponsorships to take up the activity as a full time job, with Frank Warren's Queensbury signing him up.

After suffering a brain injury in the midst of a Boxing Day points loss in Tokyo, Japanese boxer Kazuki Anaya died at the age of 23. On the undercard of pound-for-pound superstar Naoya Inoue's undisputed super-bantamweight versus Marlon Tapales, Anastuchen met Seiya Tsutsumi. During the fight, he was banned four times but managed to hang on until the final whistle, with all three judges determining the match in Tsutsumi's favour.

Jason Moloney has won his WBO bantamweight world title in Canada after an enthralling 12-round match with Mexico's Saul Sanchez. The Australian had to start from Sanchez's hot start, relying on all of his ring craft and bravilliany to turn the tables and edge to victory in Quebec City on Sunday (AEST). In Moloney's first defense of the belt he won last May, one judge (114-114) could not divide them, while two others scored seven rounds in 33-year-old's favor to the challenger's five (116-112).

After stopping Filipino southpaw Marlon Tapales in the 10th round in front of his adoring supporters in Tokyo, Naoya Inoue became the undisputed super-bantamweight champion on Boxing Day. Inoue, the overwhelmingly popular nominee, was still forced to work overtime by his game opponent, but he was made to work hard by his game opponent. Inoue had to wait another six rounds before the match was finally called off after flooring Tapales in the fourth round.

After defeating Stephen Fulton last weekend, Naoya Inoue established himself as one of the world's best pound-for-pound boxers.

BY OLI GAMP: Liam Davies has belted up his fair share of belts over his career. To be precise, five people have been killed. It's been an amazing rise to fame for the British super bantamweight champion, but it wasn't long ago he was lifting bin bags into the back of a lorry. Boxing is strewny, riches tales are stuffed in, but Davies' tale is one of the most unique and enthralling in the fighting game. Davies, who has joined Frank Warren's Queensbury Promotions stable and defeated bitter rival Jason Cunningham on Saturday night, is the man to beat in his division after sauntering to 13 straight victories, but it hasn't been as rosy as it appears on his immaculate record.

In the eighth round, Naoya Inoue was in sensational form as he defeated WBC and WBO superbantamweight champion Stephen Fulton. In the process, the Japanese puncher becomes the world champion in the sport and more clearly establishes his nimity in lower-weight divisions. Inoue took over the game and pulled Fulton back against the ropes after a tumultuous opener. Despite being overweight and smaller, Inoue was the better fighter. Inoue proceeded to conceal his trademark overhand pick and began to plan the shot with a tight jab to the body in the hopes of destroying the American's hands.

Inoue is currently in training for his upcoming match against Stephen Fulton at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on July 25. The undisputed bantamweight champion is stepping up to face Fulton for the American's unified WBC and WBO titles.

After winning the WBO bantamweight title with a majority decision over Vincent Astrolabio on Sunday, Australia's Jason Moloney admitted that he battled the bulk of the contest with a broken hand. Moloney, 32, put on a boxing masterclass against his nefarious Filipino opponent, who fought back from his educated jab and classy footwork to win by 114-114, 116-112 at Stockton Arena. Moloney did all this with a broken hand, which made the victory even more impressive.

Moloney seemed to have won the tournament comfortably, but one judge dismantled the game 114-114, but the other two had him ahead 115-113 and 116-112.
