Description

Tokyo’s Ariake Arena will host two consecutive days of championship action — eight fights and seven world title showdowns — streaming live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ during the early morning hours.

The action kicks off Sunday, Oct. 13, as Takuma Inoue defends his WBA bantamweight world title against Seiya Tsutsumi. In the co-feature, Kenshiro Teraji aims to conquer a second weight class by facing former champion Cristofer Rosales for the vacant WBC flyweight world title.

Inoue (20-1, 5 KOs), the younger brother of pound-for-pound mainstay Naoya Inoue,
captured the vacant belt with a points win over Liborio Solis in April 2023. He defended it with a ninth-round stoppage versus former world champion Jerwin Ancajas in February and a unanimous decision over Sho Ishida in May. Tsutsumi (11-0-2, 8 KOs) makes his first world title appearance following a fourth-round TKO against Weerawat Noolae in July.

Teraji (22-1, 14 KOs) made three defenses of his unified light flyweight crown, including a majority decision win over Carlos Cañizales in January. He is 14-1 in light flyweight world title contests dating back to May 2017. Rosales (37-6, 22 KOs) is on a five-fight winning streak following an April 2022 decision loss to eventual IBF champ Angel Ayala. He won the WBC flyweight world title in 2018 in Japan, stopping local favorite Daigo Higa in nine rounds.
