Boxing fans are in for a Boxing Day treat as Naoya Inoue continues his quest for greatness, with the Japanese sensation taking on Marlon Talaples for the all the marbles at super bantamweight.
Inoue can join Terence Crawford as the only male fighters in the four-belt era to become undisputed champion of the world in two weight classes, having already cleaned up at bantamweight last year.
Standing in the way of the pound-for-pound star (25-0, 22 KOs) is Tapales of the Philippines (37-3, 19 KOs), who collected his WBA Super and IBF straps by defeating Murodjon Akhmadaliev in April of this year.
Inoue has also fought once in 2023 for the WBO and WBC belts, dismantling Stephen Fulton inside eight rounds in July.
