Naoya Inoue vs TJ Doheny: Live Stream, Betting Odds & Fight Card

It will be an early morning boxing event here in the States, but it will be well worth it as Top Rank and ESPN return to Tokyo, Japan, to host an undisputed super bantamweight title fight. The undefeated champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue (27-0, 24 KOs) will defend his titles against top contender TJ Doheny (26-4, 20 KOs) live from the Ariake Arena on ESPN+ (Sky Sports in the UK and Prime Video in Japan).

The undisputed champion Inoue continues to stay on a destructive path as he last stepped foot in the ring in May when he stopped Luis Nery in six rounds. Although he scored the victory, Inoue suffered the first knockdown of his career in the opening round of their fight. Inoue would systematically break down Nery and go on to defend his titles successfully. Inoue has to now get past Doheny to decide if a showdown with “MJ” Akhmadeliev or Sam Goodman is next or if he moves up to featherweight.

Doheny is 37, and this is likely his last world title opportunity, which makes him a dangerous opponent. Doheny last fought on the Inoue-Nery undercard in May when he stopped Bryl Bayogos in just four rounds. With all of the experience he has under his belt, can Doheny tame the “Monster” and become the undisputed super bantamweight champion?
