Experts Predict Inoue to Defeat Nery in Super Bantamweight Showdown

Undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue is set to defend his title against Mexican contender Luis Nery in what promises to be a thrilling showdown at the Tokyo Dome on May 6. The highly anticipated 12-round bout, along with undercard action, will be broadcast on ESPN+ in the U.S.

Inoue, with a flawless record of 26-0 and 23 knockouts, has been a dominant force in the boxing world for the past decade.
