fight.

defending his titles against the guy who has knocked out every Japanese fighter
he has fought. It should be an exciting one

“We’ve had the opportunities with the Manny Pacquio’s of
this world, the Tyson Fury’s of this world. Inoue is special. He’s really
special and the whole dynamic around him is terrific so it’s exciting for sure.”
