Inoue ready to fight Butler for undisputed bantamweight title

Yesterday, the Japanese defeated Donaire and unified three belts

WBA, WBC and IBF World Bantamweight Champion Naoya Inoue (23-0, 20 KOs) said he was ready to stay in the division and have a unification fight with the WBO title holder Paul Butler (34-2, 15 KOs).

If Inoue does not agree with Butler on a duel for the title of absolute world champion in the bantamweight division, then the Japanese can rise to the featherweight division.

“If the negotiations go smoothly, then, of course, I would like to fight for the fourth belt and become the undisputed champion in the bantamweight division. I would like to stay in the division. If a [бой с Батлером] will not take place, then I am able to rise [в полулегкий вес]’ Inoue said.
