Inoue responds to calls to fight Davis

Unified World Bantamweight Champion Naoya Inoue assessed the likelihood of a fight against the holder of the regular WBA belt in the lightweight division Gervonta Davis.

“I doubt that such a fight is possible. It's just the hype the fans create. I think he is very good. If he is at the bottom of the ranking of the best boxers regardless of weight categories, I think he should rise a little higher in it than he is now,” the Japanese said in an interview with Fight Hype.

Let us remind you that on December 26 in Tokyo, Inoue can become the absolute champion in the second category - he will have to fight with the Filipino Marlon Tapales.
