On Friday morning here in the States, the undisputed super bantamweight title will be on the line from the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The undefeated champion Naoya Inoue (28-0, 25 KOs) looks to continue his dominant ways as he faces the late replacement Ye Joon Kim (21-2-2, 13 KOs). On Thursday, both Inoue (121.7 lbs.) and Kim (121.7 lbs.) came underneath the super bantamweight limit of 122 pounds. The main and co-main will stream live on ESPN+ in the early morning hours on Friday. With Inoue recently signing a deal with Riyadh Season and big plans ahead for “The Monster,” will this fight be another check in the box, or will Kim disrupt the future plans and insert his name in those discussions?
