Naoya Inoue Secures Fourth-Round KO, Eyes Las Vegas Fight in Spring

The unbeaten Japanese boxing star retained his undisputed super-bantamweight titles with a dominant win over Ye Joon Kim in Tokyo and confirmed plans for a U.S. bout later this year.

Naoya Inoue extended his record to 29-0 with a fourth-round knockout of South Korea's Ye Joon Kim, defending his undisputed super-bantamweight titles in Tokyo.
Kim replaced Australian contender Sam Goodman on short notice after Goodman withdrew due to injuries, but struggled to compete with Inoue's speed and power.
The fight marked Inoue's 10th consecutive knockout victory, further solidifying his status as one of boxing's top pound-for-pound fighters.
Inoue announced plans to fight in Las Vegas this spring, marking his first U.S. appearance in nearly four years, with potential opponents yet to be confirmed.
The Japanese champion is also exploring opportunities for a bout in Saudi Arabia later this year, following a sponsorship deal with Riyadh Season.
