Monster boxer Naoiya Inoue (33) has rewritten boxing history once again. Having already surpassed legends Floyd Mayweather and Joe Louis, Inoue has now broken his own record.

On the 2nd, Inoue defeated challenger Junto Nakatani (28) by a 3-0 decision in a super bantamweight unification bout involving four major organizations. With this victory, Inoue surpassed his previous record of 27 consecutive wins in world bouts, achieved in December last year against Aron Picasso, and accomplished the feat of 28 consecutive wins. He now aims to surpass the previous record of 26 consecutive wins held by Mayweather and Joe Louis and potentially reach 30 consecutive wins.

According to local media outlets such as 'Nikkan Sports' and 'Ronspo,' Inoue engaged in the most grueling battle of his 33-fight career. Facing undefeated strongman Nakatani, who had moved up from a lower weight class, Inoue struggled significantly, suffering a bruise around his left eye after the match.

It was also reported that the psychological pressure was immense. According to 'Ronspo,' Inoue stated at the press conference, "Honestly, I feel the greatest relief," adding, "The pressure and weight of having to win unconditionally were on a completely different level compared to previous fights."

The turning point of the match came in the 11th round. During a tightly contested battle, Inoue's powerful right uppercut landed squarely on Nakatani's left eye. The impact caused severe damage, leaving Nakatani unable to open his left eye properly. Seizing the opportunity, Inoue relentlessly pressed forward with a left uppercut. Although Nakatani fought desperately to hold on until the final bell of the 12th round, he was unable to regain the momentum.

Ultimately, it was a victory for Inoue, but Nakatani's fighting spirit was no small feat. Following the match, Nakatani could not attend the press conference due to suspected orbital bone fracture. Just before being transported to the hospital, Nakatani told reporters, "The champion was indeed experienced. His ring management skills were truly remarkable," acknowledging his defeat. Na

After winning seven amateur titles in high school before turning professional, Inoue has continued his record-breaking journey since capturing his first world title in 2014, including victories across three weight classes and becoming the first fighter in history to hold four major organization titles in two weight classes simultaneously.
