A fight between Naoya Inoue and Ye Joon Kim will take place at Ariake Arena in Tokyo. The reigning undisputed super bantamweight world champion is preparing for his third defense of the WBA (Super) and IBF titles, as well as his fourth defense of the WBC and WBO belts. Initially, the Monster was scheduled to face Australian Sam Goodman at the end of December. However, the bout was postponed by a month due to a cut above his eye. Eventually, the fight was canceled because of a recurrence of the injury. In September, Kaibutsu retained his undisputed status by knocking out Irish-Australian T.J. Doheny in the seventh round. The South Korean fighter agreed to the matchup just two weeks before the event. In May, he scored an early victory over Indian representative Rakesh Lohchaba.
