Naoya Inoue does not seem too interested in a potential clash against Gervonta Davis.
‘The Monster’ recently did an interview with The Ring, during which he discussed various topics such as his last performance and his tentative schedule for 2024. At one point, Inoue was asked about the possibility of fighting Davis.
The 30-year-old responded that he did not wish to move up a weight class just for monetary reasons. Inoue indicated that he wanted to perform to the best of his abilities, something that might not be possible if he moves up to compete against a fighter like ‘Tank’, who is currently the lightweight champion:
Inoue was last seen in action in December 2023. The 30-year-old went up against Marlon Tapales at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. ‘The Monster’ emerged as the better fighter and finished his opponent via knockout in the 10th round of the fight.
