Inoue confirms plans for next 4 opponents

[famicommander]

Inoue spoke on Monday and laid out the plans for his next several fights.

#5 Ramon Cardenas in Las Vegas in May at 122
#1 Murodjon Akhmadaliev in Tokyo in September at 122
#2 Nick Ball in Riyadh in December at 126
Junto Nakatani in Tokyo in Spring 2026 (presumably at 122)

Of course this is dependent upon:
1. Inoue continuing to win
2. Nick Ball beating TJ Doheny
3. Nakatani continuing to win

Interesting that he'd be willing to jump to 126 for Ball and then, presumably, back down to 122 for Nakatani. Maybe that's why he's targeting Ball for his 126 debut, as the smallest belt holder there at the moment.

Hopefully this all comes to pass, and we don't get anymore late replacements or clowns like Goodman, Picasso, or Casimero wasting everybody's time.

Good, tough challenges.

Chances of being the P4P king with those wins......

[SceneBoxer]

Akhma will just be waiting for September? Maybe he can rematch Tapales while waiting....

so much for inoue coming to the US... for a 1 fight deal. LOL

[IceTrayDaGang]

if he gets passed all those names.. junto will be the one to put a stop to this.

[Mushashi]

Turki really pushing for that Nick Ball fight. Will be like Pac-Hatton all over again

[Mushashi]

Inoue at 33 moving back down a weight to face a younger P4P rival in their prime, could be a banana peel

No point in coming here. U.S. fans rarely care about small fighters. For those of us who do, like me, I don't mind waking up early to watch his fighys in Japan or an early matinee in SA

Hes been to America. Would it be cool for him to fight here again? Sure, but in the end, ALL BOXERS follow the money and if TR isnt putting up money to entice him, OBVIOUSLY Alalshik will/is
