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!
