Naoya Inoue Defends Undisputed Super-Bantamweight Crown Against David Picasso in Riyadh on Dec. 27

The pound-for-pound standout warns that the Mexican challenger’s relentless pressure is his primary concern.

Overview

  • The title fight is scheduled for Saturday at Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  • DAZN will stream the event exclusively worldwide, with an early-morning start for viewers in Mexico due to the time difference.
  • Inoue enters as the undisputed champion after three wins in 2025 and six defenses since unifying the division in 2023.
  • Picasso arrives ranked No. 2 by the WBC at super-bantamweight with a 32-0-1 record and 17 knockouts.
  • If Picasso wins, he would become only the second Mexican boxer to achieve undisputed status in the same division.
