Top Rank Boxing and ESPN will air a four-world title fight show from Tokyo, live on Monday, May 6th at a special early start time of 4 a.m. ET/ 1 a.m. PT exclusively on ESPN+. The event takes place at Tokyo Dome. In the main event, undisputed world junior featherweight champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue will defend all the belts against former two-division champ Luis “Pantera” Nery of Mexico. Inoue (26-0, 23 KOs) won his first world title in April 2014 and has been flawless ever since. He sports an astounding 21-0 record in world title fights, including 19 knockouts. He was named 2023 Fighter of the Year by ESPN.com and Ring Magazine and makes his 2024 debut intent on solidifying his stranglehold over the division.

 

Nery (35-1, 27 KOs) won the WBC title at both bantamweight and junior featherweight. Since his loss to Brandon Figueroa in 2021, he has won four straight fights, including an eleventh-round knockout over Azat Hovhannisyan in one of last year’s most intense matches.

 

In the co-feature, Australia’s WBO bantamweight champion, Jason “Mayhem” Moloney (27-2, 19 KOs) will defend his belt against rising knockout artist and former kickboxing world champion Yoshiki Takei (8-0, 8 KOs).

 

The world title quadruple-header also features WBA bantamweight champion Takuma Inoue (19-1, 5 KOs), younger brother of Naoya, who defends his title against Sho Ishida (34-3, 17 KOs).

 

And, in a flyweight world title tilt, newly minted WBA world champion Seigo Yuri Akui (19-2-1, 11 KOs) battles Taku Kuwahara (13-1, 8 KOs) in a rematch of their 2021 encounter, which Akui won by tenth-round TKO.

 

Calling the action will be ESPN’s Joe Tessitore and Hall of Famer, Timothy Bradley, Jr.
