Inoue is known as ‘The Monster’ for a reason. He is an absolutely devastating force of nature and as we look ahead to the future, it really does feel like he’ll continue to reign supreme for as long as he chooses to do so. Alas, this is boxing, so complacency is always an issue – but Naoya knows that.
