Head of the General Entertainment Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Turki Alalshikh has spoken about plans for a showdown between undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue and former world champion Junto Nakatani.
“I would like to thank David Picasso and Sebastian Hernandez Reyes for their incredible performances. They showed immense resilience and proved they belong on the world stage against elite competition and congratulations to Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani on their well-deserved victories. I will visit Japan in the first half of 2026 to attend Inoue vs Nakatani,” Alalshikh wrote.
Recall that on December 27 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Naoya Inoue (32-0, 27 KOs) and Junto Nakatani (32-0, 24 KOs) both claimed unanimous decision wins over David Picasso and Sebastian Hernandez respectively.
