The Inoue vs. Doheny fight card features a five-fight event headlined by pound-for-pound star Naoya Inoue defending his IBF, WBC, and WBO super bantamweight titles against former champ TJ Doheny in a 12-round boxing match at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
Inoue (27-0, 24 KOs) is widely considered one of the top talents in all of boxing. The 31-year-old Japanese fighter most recently defended his belts with a sixth-round knockout of Luis Nery this past May. A four-division champion, Inoue is the first boxer in modern history to become the undisputed super bantamweight champion and one of only three male boxers in the four-belt era to become undisputed champ in two different weight classes.
Doheny (26-4, 20 KOs) is a former IBF super bantamweight champion hailing from Ireland. The 37-year-old has struggled to find consistency since dropping his title in 2019, stringing together a 5-4 record over nine bouts, but turned his fortunes around to win three straight fights over Kazuki Nakajima, Japhethlee Llamido, and Bryl Bayogos over the past 15 months.
