In what promises to be a thrilling clash of champions, 29-year-old Stephen Fulton, the undefeated WBC and WBO 122-pound champion, is gearing up to defend his titles at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday, July 25th. Standing at an impressive record of 21 wins, 8 of them by knockout, Fulton has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the super bantamweight division. However, his path to retaining his titles won’t be easy, as he faces the formidable 30-year-old Naoya Inoue, the recently undisputed bantamweight champion with an immaculate record of 24 wins, 21 of them coming by knockout.
Inoue has left a trail of destruction in the bantamweight division, having previously held titles at 108 and 115 pounds before making his mark at bantamweight in 2018 with a sensational first-round knockout of former WBA titlist Jamie McDonnell. His explosive power and lightning-fast reflexes have earned him a reputation as one of the sport’s most dangerous counterpunchers. However, in Fulton, he encounters a taller and longer opponent who possesses superb boxing skills and the ability to contain Inoue’s ferocious power.
As the anticipation builds for this high-stakes showdown, fight fans are eager to witness two champions collide in a battle for supremacy. The clash of styles between the aggressive and hard-hitting Inoue and the tactically skilled and versatile Fulton is expected to deliver fireworks inside the squared circle. The world will be watching as these elite fighters put their undefeated records on the line, and the boxing community braces for an unforgettable night of pugilistic prowess and heart-pounding action.
