Moving multiple divisions, Naoya Inoue believes the best is yet to come at super bantamweight. The Japanese star defends his status as the undisputed champion at 122 against Luis Nery on May 6 at the iconic Tokyo Dome.
Since turning pro in 2012, Inoue has won gold in four divisions. He has gone from light flyweight to super bantamweight, becoming undisputed in two divisions. He is the second active male boxer to accomplish that feat, the other being Terence Crawford.
Nery has 27 wins via knockout. The former bantamweight champion has a complicated history in Japan with failed drug tests and botched weigh-ins. Once banned for life, Nery can redeem himself and potentially hold all the gold at 122.
