Thread: Naoya Inoue's next two fights have been lined up.

The Japanese sensation has reportedly signed to defend his undisputed super bantamweight crown against Ramon Cardenas and Murodjon Akhmadaliev in the space of four months.

According to Ring Magazine, Inoue will duke it out with Cardenas on May 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Providing he gets through that fight unscathed then he will then go straight into a September 14 showdown at a yet to be announced venue in Tokyo against Akhmadaliev.

Cardenas (26-1) is ranked No.2 by the WBA and No.10 by the WBO and stepped in after negotiations collapsed between Inoue and originally planned opponent Alan Picasso.

Akhmadaliev (13-1) is a former unified WBA and IBF super bantamweight champion and is Inoue's long-time WBA mandatory.

The Uzbek's handlers have long contended that Inoue is 'ducking' their man.

Eddie Hearn suggesting Inoue should be removed from p4p rankings is he doesn't fight Akhmadaliev is beyond laughable.

Calling Inoue's resume "shit" shows just how out of touch with reality this bozo is.

Ducking is something Ginger does... not Inoue.

Will be looking forward to how Naoya flattens Akhmad. Granted... it's not Akhmad's fault Hearn is such an idiot (typical promoter nonsense). But a smashing TKO victory will shut this fukker up.

To be honest I’ve come to the conclusion that Hearn won’t give a flying shit. He’ll think his big mouth has done it’s job of getting his fighter a shot and him another payday.
And after Inoue smashes his boy, he’ll be full of “oh what a great fighter Inoue is, blah blah bullshit.” Fuck Eddie, he’s a sap.

sam goodman messed naoya around leading to his last two fights, this fight against ramon cardenas is pointless. naoya needs to face mj next, junto if he moves up or move up himself
