Recently crowned WBC and WBO bantamweight champion, Naoya Inoue, is scheduled to face off against WBA and IBF title holder Marlon Tapales in his upcoming fight.
ESPN journalist Joe Tessitore speculates that this significant title fight could possibly be slated for November.
"The two men meet inside the ring in Tokyo for the first of what will likely be many face-offs. The word that we’re hearing is a likely fight for undisputed at junior featherweight could come in November of this year," Tessitore reported.
The prediction followed Inoue's impressive victory over Fulton, an event that was seen as more than just a win, according to a source quoted by Boxing News 24.
