Sizzling unbeaten unified WBA/IBF bantamweight world champion “Monster” 井上尚弥 Naoya Inoue will defend his titles against hard-hitting 29-year-old Australian challenger Jason Moloney (21-1, 18 KO’s) on October 31 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, a clash likely to end by knockout. 🔥🔥

In his brutal battle last November, the hot 27-year-old Inoue decisioned veteran brave-heart Filipino warrior Nonito Donaire (40-6, 26 KO’s) in a thrilling collision that won the Fight of the Year Award for 2019. 💥💥

After that, fans were wanting Naoya Inoue (19-0, 16 KO’s) in the ring against experienced Filipino WBO Champion Johnriel Casimero (29-4, 20 KO’s) for a dream bantamweight unification fight. ⭐️ But that rumble will have to wait. 😬 Hopefully next year. 🤞

Promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank, Inoue vs Maloney will air live on ESPN.

— May the Best Man Win..!!
