Nayya Inoue vs. Alan Picasso will be the headline on December 27 in the so -called “Ring V: Night of the Samurai” Event at Mohammed Abdo Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Turki Alalshikh announced the card today. The event will be shown live in Dazn.

Some people question the wisdom of keeping the card in Riyadh, not Japan, taking into account the card fighters and the official title of the event “Night of the Samurai”.

Fans are not too excited inoue (31-0, 27 KO) in the face of Picasso (32-0-1, 17 KO) in the main event. The fight is perceived as a substantial step in the classroom by 32-year-old Inoue, who holds a 12-round unanimous decision on the last Sunday of September 14, against the former master of Super Bantamieight Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

In the Bantamweight Junto nuttani coefficient (31-0, 24 KO) will go to the 122-Funt division to face the invincible artist with Nokaut Sebastian Hernandez Reyes (20-0, 18 Kos).

This is a risky fight for a 27-year-old dug to take part in his first competition in Super Bantamweight, but he has to face a solid opponent to set up his great fight against “Monster” in the spring of 2026 in Tokyo Dome in Japan.

Card analysis

JUNTO LOVED VS. Sebastian Hernandez Reyes: This is a tough fight for dug on paper, directed towards 8 WBC, #10 WBO and 12 IBF Hernandez Reyes in his first competition in 122. Again, there is a lot on the line for the duties, because the loss here would ruin his clash with great money with Inoue. Hernandez Reyes can hit, and he will be a great test to show whether he is ready for the next stage of his career against Inoue superglawasm.
Hayato Tsutsumi vs. Jazza dickens: The stake of this fight will be threatened with this fight. This is a belt run by Jazz (36-5, 15 KO). This is a substantial step in the class for the invincible Tsutsumi (8-0, 5 KO). If he loses, you’ll know why. He was not ready for such a step in his ninth professional fight after three years as a professional. However, Tsutsumi is 27 years antique, which is not newborn for a warrior with only 9 fights, and he must be rapid to the top. If his promoters take a tardy approach, he would be after 30 years and maybe too antique to compete with the younger feathers.
Kenshiro Tesja vs. Willibaldo Garcia is: Former WBC Flyight, Teraji (25-2, 16 KO) master, he receives a plain title against IBF Super Flyweight Garcia (23-6-2, 13 KO) in a modern division. In the last fight of the 33-year-old Teraji, he was dethroned by Ricardo Sandoval on July 30, losing the 12-round divided decision in Jokohama, Japan. Sandoval hit the terrave with his right hands all night, using his inability to stop this blow. You can discuss whether Teraji deserves an immediate shot from the world, moving to the 115 pounds division after his losing with Sandoval. At least Teraji should have been fighting the highest rated pretender in the IBF rankings in Super Flyweight, Andrew Moloney to put himself to fight for the title of world champion.
Taiga Imanaga vs. Armando Martinez: This is a lithe duel between the invincible Taiga (9-0, 5 KO) and the undefeated Cuban Martinez (16-0, 15 KO). He is one that favors Taiga, but Martinez would not be a shock to victory. No warrior fought the high -level opposition during a compact career.
Reito tsutsumi vs. Leobardo Quintana Sanchez: Ponderous Tsutsumi (3-0, 2 KO) fights Quintana Sanchez (11-1, 5 Kos). It is rather a fight with 23-year-old Tsutsumi, who is a great puncher.

Tony Bellews Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: Yep, I Said It

Tony Bellew's Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: "Yep, I Said It"

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.

The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.

After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.

Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.

It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.

Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.

“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”

Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.

Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.

Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: I Still Think That

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: "I Still Think That"

Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.

Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.

In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.

Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.

Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.

Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.

As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.

“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.

“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.

“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”

If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.
