Naouye Iboue's recent form

Inoue (30-0, KO27) is waiting for a potential big matchup with Junto Nakatani, but with Nakatani yet to test himself at 122 pounds, Inoue instead faces the challenge of Akhmadaliev (14-1, KO11). Inoue became the WBC light flyweight champion in just his sixth fight, then moved on to dominate super flyweight and bantamweight, knocking out Paul Butler in December 2022. At 32, Inoue has remained undefeated with 30 wins, 27 by knockout, and held world titles in four weight classes. Though rarely tested, "The Monster" is approaching all-time great status and aims to add another top name to his resume.

Naouye Iboue`s Strength

Though still a powerful puncher, Inoue's move to junior featherweight means he relies more on skill and setups rather than pure power. His recent May 4th victory over Ramon Cardenas showed his resilience, as he was floored by a left hook but recovered to win by eighth-round TKO. This added to his already impressive list of wins, including knockout victories over T.J. Doheny and Ye Joon Kim.

Murodjon Akhmadaliev's recent form

In his eighth fight, 30-year-old Akhmadaliev (14-1, 11 KOs) defeated Daniel Roman to regain the super bantamweight titles. However, his unbeaten streak and opportunity to face Inoue ended in April 2023 when he lost his titles to Marlon Tapales via split decision. After that, Tapales challenged Inoue, but he was stopped in the tenth round. Former unified champion Akhmadaliev feels he did enough to defeat Tapales and that the outcome would have been different if he had gone up against Inoue. Akhmadaliev has won three straight stoppages since the defeat; his most recent victory came in May 2023 when he stopped Luis Castillo in the eighth round. Even though Akhmadaliev is regarded as one of Inoue's most formidable opponents, his defeat by Tapales begs the question of whether he can match Inoue's unrelenting style. Even with his abilities, he is still a big underdog, particularly when it comes to Inoue in Japan.

Murodjon Akhmadaliev`s Strength

Akhmadaliev, a durable and dangerous fighter early on, trains under Joel Diaz and has a solid chin, good technique, and an impressive amateur background, including an Olympic bronze medal in 2016. He’s known for his ring IQ, speed, and power.
