Main Event: Naoya Inoue vs. TJ Doheny

Naoya Inoue (27-0, 24 KOs), a four-division world champion and one of the pound-for-pound best in the sport, is set to defend his undisputed super bantamweight title for the second time. Inoue has made the Ariake Arena his fortress, where he secured victories over top-tier opponents, including his knockout win against Paul Butler for the undisputed bantamweight title in December 2022, his triumph over Stephen Fulton for two super bantamweight titles in July 2023, and his dominant performance against Marlon Tapales last December to claim the undisputed crown.

His opponent, TJ Doheny (26-4, 20 KOs), is no stranger to fighting in Japan, boasting an undefeated 4-0 record on Japanese soil. Doheny’s most recent victory in Japan was a knockout win over Bryl Bayogos during the Inoue-Luis Nery undercard at Tokyo Dome in May.
