‘Monster’ Inoue eyes second undisputed crown against Tapales

Japan’s Naoya Inoue introduced Wednesday that he’ll try and turn into an undisputed world champion in a second weight division by combating Marlon Tapales in December when all 4 superbantamweight belts will probably be at stake.

The boxer generally known as “Monster” final yr grew to become the primary undisputed bantamweight world champion in half a century, earlier than vacating his belts to maneuver as much as superbantamweight.

He beat American Stephen Fulton in his first battle on the new weight to assert the WBC and WBO titles in July and he’ll attempt to full the set in Tokyo on Dec. 26 in opposition to the IBF and WBA champion Tapales, from the Philippines.
