The Japanese boxer won all four prestigious belts in the bantamweight division.
The boxing evening ended in Tokyo, where the main event was the fight between WBC, WBA, IBF bantamweight title holder Japanese Naoya Inoue and WBO champion Briton Paul Butler.
As expected, the match took place with the complete dominance of the owner of the ring. One of the best boxers, regardless of weight category, took the initiative from the very beginning of the fight, forcing his opponent to primarily defend himself.
The Briton fought as hard as he could, but was unable to reach the end of the battle. The denouement came in the 11th round. After a series of powerful blows, Butler ended up on the canvas and couldn’t stand on his own.
NOT REMOVED.
POUND FOR POUND NO. 1️⃣
