Turks al-Sheikh wants Naoya Inouue to fight Junta Nakataini in December in a conflict in the season in Riyadh. He says this is what he wants, but if that doesn’t happen, he still wants a “great fight”.
Avoiding the top
If the Turks want any recommendations for opponents for Inoue, I have a package of supreme predators who would jump on the opportunity to exhibit a 31-year-old. However, I don’t think he would agree to fight any of them because they are too good.
Inoue is expected to delay Sam Goodmanwho planned to fight last month on January 24th until he pulled out with the cut. Instead, Naoya fought a replacement opponent Yeon Kim and knocked him out in four rounds.
It was another mismatch in a long series of Inoue, and fans are tired of watching not taking the opposition that fired when he beat him. Nakatani (29-0, 22) could be a little too good for Inoue, so he could get the same treatment as Murodjon Akhmadaliev received neglect.
The Turks did not mention any names, but fans would like to see Inoue (29-0, 26 ko) to deal with risk fights for change.

There seems to be a lot of interest in the fight against any of these five fighters, for a good reason. Most, if not everyone, would beat the ‘monster’ inoue and demolish it to the ground.
December in Riyadh
“In December we will do stainless steel. I prefer the champions from Japan. Yes,” said Turks al-Sheikh to ESPN He wants Naoya Inoue to fight the WBC champion Bantam, Junta Nakatani in December. “But if that doesn’t happen, it will be one of the big fights.
“He is (inoue) special, and this year we are celebrating 75 years between our country (Saudi Arabia) and Japan. Japan is very important to us, and in December we will do very big events in December,” Turki said.
