Published May 4, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Japanese champion Naoya Inoue and rising star Bam Rodriguez are planning a super‑bantamweight showdown for January 2027 in Japan, as part of Riyadh Season.

After a unanimous decision win over Junto Nakatani, Inoue remains the unified super‑bantamweight champion. The bout with Rodriguez, who will move up to 118 pounds, could break Japan’s attendance record and feature a special commemorative Ring belt. Rodriguez will first fight Antonio Vargas for the WBA bantamweight title before the potential 2027 clash. h-doctor.club
