Fight is all set for May 6 at Tokyo Dome. Much anticipated fight and should be a good one while it lasts. Explosive match up. Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery officially announced for Tokyo Dome, May 6
Card looks interesting: Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery Takuma Inoue vs Sho Ishida Seigo Yuri Akui vs Taku Kuwahara 2 Jason Maloney vs Yoshiki Takei John Riel Casimero vs TJ Doheny
Hopefully there is legit drug testing for this but even if not nery is getting murdered for his cheating shit vs yamanaka
For those wondering what time to wake up for Monday's Top Rank on ESPN+ show... Four title fights air live on ESPN+ beginning 4am ET/9am UK/1am PT Moloney-Takei ring walks 6:25am ET/11:25am UK/3:25am PT (estimated) Inoue-Nery ring walks 7:35am ET/12:35pm UK/4:35am PT (estimated)
This fight may be a significant event for Japanese boxing given the context. The pressure is on Inoue to give Japan the redemption and revenge that they have longed for after what Nery did to Yamanaka. The question would be if Nery is gonna try and miss weight again and if Inoue will still follow through with it.
