The most awaited match of all of bantamweight world champions Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire and undefeated Japanese star Naoya Inoue is set to finish in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series Bantamweight Tournament.
The showdown of the two will be held on November 7 to find out who will be returning to the Muhammad Ali Trophy, where the venue will take place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
Inoue (18-0, 16 KOs) nicknamed "The Monster" is recognized as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
For Inoue, he will face a legend but he will do everything he can to win the prestigious Ali Trophy.
The Japanese superstar is facing a major test since "The Filipino Flash" has previously been the champion of four different weight classes.
For Donaire (40-5, 26 KOs), he has fought a few world champions and will be heading to Japan ready.
The Fil-Am champ admits to being a rival but he has a weakness and is the one to take advantage of.
"A fight against Inoue is a fight that needs to be done to determine the best in the division," Donaire said in a statement.
26-year-old Inoue is the current holder of the WBA (Regular) and IBF Bantamweight World Championships.
First of this, he only needed two rounds to oust former IBF titleholder Emmanuel Rodriguez at the WBSS Bantamweight Tournament semifinal in Glasgow, Scotland.
