Takuma Inoue and Tenshin Nasukawa meet again in Tokyo with the WBC bantamweight world championship at stake, less than a year after Inoue defeated the former kickboxing superstar over 12 rounds to claim the vacant title. Inoue returns as champion after adding a successful defense to his résumé, while Nasukawa has fought his way back into contention by defeating Juan Francisco Estrada in a title eliminator. The rematch offers a sharper tactical test than their first meeting, with Nasukawa continuing to adapt his speed and southpaw style to elite-level boxing while Inoue brings greater championship experience and proven composure over the full distance. With a world title on the line and a major domestic rivalry at the centre of the card, the sequel stands as one of Japan’s most significant boxing events of the year.
