Sunday: Inoue-Cardenas and Rafael Espinoza-Edward Vazquez will be broadcast live to ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 22:00 ET/7 PM PT

Promoter Eddie Hearn announced today that the fight between Nayy Inoue and Murodjon Akhmadaliev is scheduled for Sunday, September 14 in Japan. Two years of waiting and are slow for many fans who have gone out. Inoue still has to win his fight with Ramon Cardenas, but he is expected to be another simple one of the many he had.

Hearn is glad that his warrior, former IBF champion and WBA 122-lb, Akhmadaliev (13-1, 10 KO), finally a shot at Fighting Inoue, 32, for four titles in Super Bantamweight. Eddie presses that the fight has been taking place for centuries.

Long expectation and summer reaction

The reaction to today Hearna’s announcement was not huge in social media. The loss of Akhmadaliev from Tapales two years ago in 2023 encouraged a lot of interest that once was in this fight.

If Inoue fought him in 2022, when he was still invincible, the fight would be huge. The Japanese star decided not to do it. So the fight is not that great. Fans are now more interested in that Inoue moves to 126 and accepts Rafael Espinoza, Angelo Leo and Nick Ball masters.

Avoidance strategy

The Akhmadaliev 2016 bronze medalist had the impression that Inoue avoids him, which could be true. Inoue has a good thing in Japan, loved by a country that collectively does not bother that he is fighting less than permanently.

They think he is great and does not raise his feet on fire to put pressure on him, so that he starts fighting the competition at the elite level. For the money that Naoya makes a fight like you Joon Kim and Tj Dohen, why should he want to take risky fights in which he could lose?

This advertisement can enhance interest in the inoue fight on Sunday evening against Ramon Cardenas on May 4 in Las Vegas, because the US was not noise because of this fight for obvious reasons. This is another cushioned opponent of “The Monster” Inoue (29-0, 26 KO) to knock out in a disappointing fight in America.

Finally a completed transaction!

World Boxing News may reveal Chris Eubank Jr.’s plans to fight two fights with Pay-Per-View before he went to the sunset.

The British middleweight star strives for another victory over Conor Bennem in autumn. If he succeeds, “Next Gen” will challenge Canelo Alvarez with the unquestionable title of a super medium weight in May.

Both fights take place in London.

Benn’s rematch will return to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, and Turks Alalshikh is considering dates in September and October.

If Eubank confirmed his Saturday, on April 26, the victory over the rival Benne, the son of the legend would fight Canelo, provided that the Mexican superstar defeated William Scull and Terenka Crawford.

WBN understands that Canelo vs Eubank is directed to the Wembley stadium, and not to the home of Tottenham Hotspur.

After his fascinating victory over Benne, Eubank discussed his future with Sky Sports.

When asked about staying in the Eubank hospital, he replied: “When you start fighting for twelve rounds, injuries are given.

“I was thrown over the eye and it opened around the middle of the fight. I had to go and take care of it. I had to sew it.

“Conor Benn and Eddie Hearn escaped with the story of a broken jaw. There is no broken jaw here! We are robust and our bones are chunky.

“When you are in such a fight, you have to go to the hospital, you must be tested and care. But I feel good. I am grateful that the fight was so well received. I am in a great place.”

About whether Canelo can happen before Bennem, Eubank added: “This is another stadium filler absolutely.

“Wembley, Tottenham. Each of the huge football stadiums in Great Britain would be filled with such a fight.

“He is an opponent that I have been looking at for many years, and fans would like to see it. So one hundred percent is the name that is in my eyes, and we will do everything to secure this fight in the future.”

To sum up Benna’s rematch, Eubank said: “Watch this space. Boxing is a very pretty industry in which everything can happen. The possibilities are unlimited.

“If it is to be a rematch, it will be. If not, guess what, there are many other amazing fights and great things to achieve in sport.

“So I’m elated.”

After a unanimous decision from last week, Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that the same 160 pound weight limit will take place for Eubank Jr. vs. Benn 2.

WBN believes that after the end of the fight Benn and Canelo Eubank Jr. will consider the pension in 2026.

It will be a fairy -tale ending if Canelo vs Eubank Jr. will come out.

Fans of the fight against Great Britain already hope that Eubank and Benn will become world champions after their incredible war in London.
