Naoya Inoue, the undisputed super bantamweight champion, has issued a public challenge to WBC bantamweight champion Junto Nakatani, proposing a high-profile bout at the Tokyo Dome next year.
The call-out, made during the Japanese Boxing Awards ceremony, was uncharacteristic for Inoue, highlighting the growing profile of Nakatani.
Although the verbal agreement has sparked excitement, Inoue is set for a bout against Ramon Cardenas in May, followed by a potential match with Murodjon Akhmadaliev in the fall, before focusing on Nakatani.
Meanwhile, Nakatani may either defend his title or take on other champions in preparation for the anticipated clash with Inoue.
