Why Naoya Inoue Is “The Monster”
Recently it was announced that Naoya Inoue’s next fight would be against fellow bantamweight semi-finalist Emmanuel Rodriguez. This fight will take place on May 18th in Glasgow, Scotland. For those of you who haven’t heard of Inoue then let this article introduce you to him and show him why he is the monster.
There are four bantamweight champions, Naoya Inoue who is the WBC champion, the IBF champion, Emmanuel Rodriguez who is set to fight Inoue, the WBA bantamweight champion who is Nonito Donaire and the WBO champion, Zolani Tete. Inoue & Rodriguez are the only undefeated boxers which I mentioned and they are set to fight on the 18th of May and I definitely think Inoue will win this as just like the title suggests; he’s the monster.

That was just one of Inoue’s fights and as you read there, he is an absolutely amazing boxer who will go far in the bantamweight division and is my prediction to win the world boxing super series with his next fight being on the 18th of May which I will be watching live and it’s going to be brilliant. This tournament is exactly what Inoue needs as it’s fantastic exposure - just look at Eubank who is fighting James DeGale tonight or the unified cruiserweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk who just defeated Tony Bellew and is heavily rumoured to fight Alexander Povetkin at heavyweight.
Keep your eyes open for Naoya Inoue as he is the real deal and has earned his monster nickname. With 17 fights, 17 wins and 15 knockouts, it’s safe to say that Naoya Inoue is a monster and at the age of 25 - he’s not slowing down anytime soon which is bad news for he bantamweight division.
