The undisputed world champion in the second bantamweight division, Naoya Inoue, stated that he is ready to fight against Zunto Nakatani.

“We talked about this. We both won our fights, so why not fight each other? I really want to fight Nakatani. In fact, I asked him to do it. We had a conversation about it, which became a big story. But it was just a short conversation.

Additionally, there is a possibility that I will move up to featherweight, but that will not happen in May. It's just a possibility for the future,” said Inoue.

Let us remind you that on December 27, Inoue defeated Alan David Picasso by unanimous decision in the main event of boxing night The Ring V: Night of the Samurai.
