Japan and Japanese professional boxing and professional sport is flying at the moment and is in no short part to some of these boxers here.
Obviously Naoya Inoue is helping getting the word out on Asian boxing to the West as ‘The Monster’ is considered one of the best pound for pound fighters in the sport.
Later today one Sasaki Tsune fights Brian Norman for the world title in Japan shortly.
Naoya Inoue Calls Out Sasaki Tsune
Ahead of the fight Inoue said on the X app of Sasaki Tsune (Japanese to English translation):
“Sasaki Tsune is so full of fun that he can’t express what he wants to say well, but that’s also his charm. Change history!! “I’m dying to get Norman” is cheating”
Interesting to see how the fight goes today in Japan in a while.
24-year-old Brian Norman from Georgia in the United States is the WBO welterweight world champion.
Challenger Jin Sasaki of Japan is currently 19-1-1-17 KO and is only 23 years old.
Norman is currently 27-0-21 KO at this particular time.
As for Inoue, he is being talked about in an all Japanese super fight with Junto Nakatani in the near future.
