“I have never fought a fighter like him, but the same can be said about him,” said Naoya Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs), who will face Stephen Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs) for his WBC and WBO super bantamweight titles.
The Ring journalists, as usual with such a big fight, conducted a survey among journalists, fighters, promoters and managers. The Japanese "Monster", despite the fact that it is rising from a lighter weight category, is the clear favorite of this meeting. Eighteen of the respondents pointed to the victory of Inoue, the majority believe that it will be ahead of schedule, and only three - to the current champion.
"He's a strong fighter who works well on his feet and has the stamina for a full twelve rounds," added Inoue, who is respectful of his opponents as usual.
