"But there's only one American on that list!"
"But I don't know any of those other guys!"
"But he needs to fight in America!"
"He needs to move up and fight Bud!"
"He needs to learn English!"
"But he looks different than me!"

๐ฅ In just 26 months, Naoya Inoue has cleaned out his division going 7-0 (6 KO). Inoue blitzed through:
๐บ๐ธ Stephen Fulton
๐ต๐ญ Marlon Tapales
๐ฒ๐ฝ Luis Nery
๐ฎ๐ช TJ Doheny
๐ฐ๐ท Ye Joon Kim
๐ฒ๐ฝ Ramon Cardenas
๐บ๐ฟ Murodjon Akhmadaliev
For perspective, Terence Crawford and Oleksandr Usyk have each fought 3X.
Inoue will return in December followed by a SUPERFIGHT with fellow Pound for Pounder Junto Nakatani in May 2026. Neither Crawford nor Usyk will fight again this year.
Do not underestimate the absurdity of Inoue's insane schedule.
Inoue's also far and away the most dominant fighter in boxing losing just a handful of rounds in his ENTIRE career.
Inoue is the Pound for Pound King!
