Inoue 井上尚弥 Set to Defend Against Moloney Oct 31 in Las Vegas

By Carlos Costa

Sizzling unbeaten unified WBA/IBF bantamweight world champion  “Monster” 井上尚弥 Naoya Inoue will defend his crowns against hard-hitting Australian challenger Jason Moloney (21-1, 18 KO’s) on October 31 at @ the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, a clash likely to end by knockout.

In his last brutal battle last November, the hot 27-year-old Inoue decision veteran Filipino brave-heart warrior Nonito Donaire (40-6, 26 KO’s), a thrilling collision that won the Fight of the Year Award in 2019.

Then, fans were wanting promoter Bob Arum to get Naoya Inoue (19-0, 16 KO’s) in the ring against experienced Filipino WBO Champion Johnriel Casimero (29-4, 20 KO’s) for a dream bantamweight unification fight. But that will have to wait. Hopefully next year.

Promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank, Inoue vs Maloney will air live on ESPN.
