Inoue KOs Tapales to become second male two-weight undisputed champion
Japan's Naoya Inoue changed into the second male champion to be a four-belt undisputed legend in two weight divisions with a tenth-round knockout of Marlon Tapales in Tokyo on Tuesday.
Inoue bound together the super-bantamweight titles of the four basic supporting bodies in general, taking the WBA and IBF crown from Tapales and holding the WBC and WBO belts he won in July
I think [junior featherweight] is my weight class for the time being thusly, in 2024, I ought to show myself at [junior featherweight] in extensively more grounded structure," Inoue said after the battle. "I'm glad to the point that I got the knockout in such an unequivocal way."
The 30-year-old bound together every one of the four belts in the bantamweight division last December prevailing upon Paul Head laborer going before releasing those titles and moving to his constant weight class. The very other man to accomplish the accomplishment is American Terence Crawford, the constant welterweight undisputed boss, who joined the four tremendous belts in the light-welterweight class.
"[Tapales] never showed me exhaustion or harm from his face, so I was especially flabbergasted when he went down in the tenth round," said Inoue. "It was possibly of the most marvelous battle I've had in advance, plausible, yet my corner upheld me and kept me zeroed in all through the gathering."
In ladies' boxing, Claressa Securities (middleweight and light-middleweight) and Katie Taylor (lightweight and light-welterweight) have accomplished a similar accomplishment
Inoue, the very Asian two-division undisputed legend, is 26-0 as a trained professional and has been a hero in two other weight classes, having overtaken the opposition for the WBC title in the light flyweight and the WBO title in the junior bantamweight
