NAOYA INOUE returns to the ring to defend her undisputed titles against Luis Nery next month.
‘The Monster’ hasn’t seen action since a dominant win over Marlon Tapales in December.
Now he returns to face former two-weight world champion Nery, who was once a highly praised fighter.
Nery has already fought in Japan against Shinsuke Yamanaka, defeating him by technical knockout in the fourth round.
The Mexican failed a drug test after the fight, but it was later ruled to be due to contaminated food. Nery fought back and beat Yamanaka, but was unable to make weight for the fight and was subsequently banned from fighting in Japan.
He is now back to fight in the Land of the Rising Sun, but this time he will face Inoue, arguably the greatest fighter of all time.
When is Inoue x Nery?
- Inoue’s big showdown against Nery will take place on Monday, May 6th.
- The fight will take place at the Tokyo Dome, in Tokyo, Japan.
- Inoue’s fights usually start around 11am in the UK, so you can expect the same here.
- But the circular walks are yet to be confirmed, so check back with SunSport for the latest updates.
What channel is it on and can it be streamed live?
- Inoue vs Nery will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena in the UK.
- You can stream the action live on the NOW TV or Sky Go apps, both of which are available to download onto your phone or tablet.
