Four-weight world champion Naoya Inoue will defend his super-bantamweight titles against Luis Nery in Tokyo next month.
The pound-for-pound boxing superstar is a two-weight undisputed king following his stunning knockout win against Marlon Tapales.
Inoue will now take on former world champion Nery, (35-1-0), but hasn’t fought since stopping Froilan Saludar in July.
‘The Monster’ is known for his ferocious punching power but so is his Mexican challenger with both having the ability to strike a knockout blow.
