While Inoue, he was really dominating the division he has won being a unified champion, now he move up and will be threatening the champion to take their belts.

It's worth noting that Stephen Fulton is also planning to move up to 126 lbs even prior to this negotiation with Naoya Inoue. Actually, not just a plan for him but Fulton already taking steps to reach and maintain that weight. I do hope that it won't affect his training to keep shape at 122 lbs even already doing training courses to fully shape at 126 lbs.

Even a pound inch or two is struggling to do and can affect the boxer's performance a day before the fight. Although I believed that the several months left before Fulton face Inoue is enough to get physically fit again at 122 lbs. He's a champion after all.

to be honest I don't know how far this news can have some truth, maybe it's just speculation or intention to make the fight not be in May and be earlier something like in April, in short it's April or May the most important thing is that the fight happens

Actually, the speculated months on when this fight will fall are April, May, and June. When I created this topic it was just that May is the one highlighted.

There's no official date yet but as far as the recent progress is concerned, it might be April. But not until an official announcement has been made, I won't change yet the thread title. I'm just waiting for the official announcement.

Referring to Bob Arum's statement a few days ago, their Japan partners are the ones doing the work on the negotiation and April might be the month.

Yeah, it's going to be subjective if you are talking about pound for pound list, but Inoue should be in top of it as he has destroying everyone in unifying his belt. Canelo lost to Bivol last year, Usyk beat Joshua but the biggest fish to fry is Fury and it's hard to see him winning against the Gypsy king. Spence and Crawford didn't fight.

Agree with you, Inoue has a better journey compared to Usyk whom I'm sure will not beat Fury. He maybe is the active boxer now, but once they will face Fury, I know it will be another easy win by Fury. While Inoue, he was really dominating the division he has won being a unified champion, now he move up and will be threatening the champion to take their belts.

So in the lower weights and probably in boxing in general, Inoue should be the number 1 know and he could be another division champion in his next fight. So it's hard to beat that one.

There's no question that he is the number 1.

It's already understood that he is the crowd favorite because he is a very popular fighter. Per https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/, Inoue is ranked number 2 in the pound for pound ranking, that's how popular he is, and as he keeps winning impressively, eventually he will get the top spot. I don't know, maybe other source will already give him the number 1 spot.

I guess not that easy because Canelo Alvarez is still holding his throne and that won't be easy for Inoue to replace, although I know his time will come sooner because he's much younger than Canelo and eventually he will replace him. Aside from that, the only possible way for Inoue to get the P4P King title is if Canelo will have another defeat.

Back to the fight, this will be indeed a challenge for Fulton and I'm excited what would be his move against Inoue because he's still the champion here and I expect that he will not give that belt easily as Fulton himself wanted this fight before he jumps to the next weight class.

On most rankings lists that I have seen recently Inoue already outranks Canelo and he is only outranked by Usyk, and in some rankings Crawford appears ahead of him while on others Inoue is already ahead of him, however I do not see Usyk unifying all the belts at the heavyweight division if he has to fight against Fury, however Inoue could do this at the super bantamweight, which in my mind it will make him the best boxer pound for pound.

I agree. This will probably shut down all the doubts about him. Because whether we like it or not, there are still fans that think he is just good at his own weight class where he dominated but not on this one.
Well, that also determines that he still has something to prove and he should take it in an optimistic way. There's still a challenge, the competition is still broad, there are very good boxers in this weight that he entered and he should get past them first.
I am watching different analysts on this bout and it is still a mixed prediction about what will happen on fight night.
Around 60 percent (my watched analysis) are vouching that Inoue will win it and the rest for Stephen Fulton.
For gamblers, it's a good sign, we don't like a 1.03 - 1.10 odds being listed as we cannot make our bets for the favorite.

something I noticed when I went to research more information about this fight is that most of the comments on the news sites where they talk about this fight people are giving Naoya Inoue as the guy who will win this fight without much difficulty, some even believe that the Naoya Inoue will win even before reaching the 4th round, anyway I also think and I will bet on Naoya Inoue to win this fight.

Naoya Inoue's performance in his previous division make this insights possible. Inoue is a monster in his previous division and since his current division is just another 4 lbs heavier, many thinks that Inoue can retain his speed and has more power since he will become more robust and does not need extra training to trim his weight. This will save him from exhaustion due training and more likely will give him more strength due to added mass.

I just hate to think about some negativities as there could be some problems along the way, knowing that Fulton's promoter, Al Haymon is unpredictable.

Actually, both promoters are unpredictable and can ruin the possibility of this to happened. For now, it's good that it's almost a done deal.

I hope though that no such thing as sudden bad news will happen on the way or else, we won't witness one of the best fights this year. Just recently, Moloney vs Donaire failed to materialize even though the probability for that to happen is almost at 100%.

I hope this fight won't end up like that.

Yeah, he has proven that he can win outside of his native country Japan. But if this one is going to be held in Saitama again, Inoue will have so much confident because he wanted to please the crowd again, just like what he did against Donaire, devastating knockout win.

Perhaps we may want to re-phrase that, chances of Fulton are slim to stop the train hype of the Inoue. Naoya is on a destructive path that we don't know who is going to beat him in 122 lbs.

Fulton is really in a tough challenge here as Inoue will be the crowd favorite despite being the challenger. I can't imagine this fight will end in judges' scorecards as if we follow the trend, Inoue will easily win here via KO. As long as Fulton is willing to go toe to toe, it will not be a boring fight, and of course, he has to suffer a painful defeat as Inoue is such a heavy hitter.

Depends how tough Fulton's chin against Inoue's power. But we all know that there are no chin in the boxer that can't be broken. Sooner or later, they will have to face a boxer that punches hard and their chin are going to be soft.

Fulton might not go toe to toe because it will be dangerous for him and will try to avoid Inoue's power punch. Not saying it will be boring, but Fulton could not be willing to go fight in that strategy in the first half of the fight but then will adjust how the fight goes.

Cant really be still that too confident for Inoue to make some infight against Fulton.Not to reside with Fulton but we know that he wont really be that a belt holder for nothing.Its true that there's no such thing about
tough chin specially if it gets hit hard but we dont know on what extent it could hold into.For sure Fultons team is really that finding methods and ways on beating or trying to counter basing up on
how Inoue fights.Month of May is fast approaching and having 5 months of training is something that would be sufficient specially for Inoue on trying to go with heavier weight division? Lets see.

It's probably around that time frame, April-May will be perfect in Japan. Probably they all agree verbally about this fight specially Stephen before he go up in weight at 126 lbs. At least he is not going to vacate the title and then we will all will say that he duck the Naoya because he is afraid that he might lose in this fight.

Still far though, many things can happen along the way, but hopefully it can definitely happen and there will be no issues like the money or the venue or even if there is such a rematch clause. In short, no more stumbling block as we all are looking for this fight and excited to see Inoue again in the ring.

Yes mate, they still have some time to clarify and rectify some things if ever there will be any misunderstanding while their discussion is going on. And speaking of discussion, I hope they are slowly having a start now because these days, time is moving so fast and the next thing we know, we're already in March even if the month of February just started. But yes, I really hope so too that this fight will go smoothly without any stumbling block.

Let's not think about that and just hope instead that this fight will push through without using of any influence that will make the fight unfair because of some favors. Inoue already got the homecourt advantage here and his camp, and even the entire nation of Japan is confident and rooting for the boxer to win. Besides, Inoue doesn't need any favor because he will always get the job done as I reckon, he's not planning in staying long in this weight class.

I definitely agree with you about that, while it's undoubtedly given that Naoya Inoue got the homecourt advantage here because the fight will happen at his country. I'm still positive the Inoue doesn't need that advantage or favor from his countrymen as I know that he got this handled and I can't think that Fulton will be able to give him that first defeat. Anyway, if I'm right, this bout will happen in Saitama again where his recent fights happened.

With Inoue's skill and power he doesn't need a homecourt advantage even the added weight is not a disadvantage for Inoue, he just added a few pounds it's still in his range, Inoue's camp has a lot of supporters and their promoters can give what the other camps want for the fight to be held in Japan, they want to satisfy their boxing community, I don't think Fulton can stop Inoue's train he's not the man to stop Inoue's train, he will soon have the super Bantamweight belt on his waist.

Yeah, he has proven that he can win outside of his native country Japan. But if this one is going to be held in Saitama again, Inoue will have so much confident because he wanted to please the crowd again, just like what he did against Donaire, devastating knockout win.

As a sportsman, I really admire what Inoue is doing, he is a boxer who is willing to do what he wants, even though he has left all his titles, in the minds of each person it is known that he is the undisputed winner from that category, I think that gives him much more respect, now this fight against FULTON is very good and interesting, I like that he has these new challenges, I thought he was going to face a Canelo or a Bivol, the ability is surprising That this boxer has to be the best, I think that without a doubt my support will be on Inoue, and more because he is a boxer who is not afraid of anything.

Naoya Inoue vs. Stephen Fulton possible for April says Bob Arum

Quote

By Craig Daly: Naoya Inoue and WBC & WBO super bantamweight champion Stephen Fulton are in the works for April, says promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank. Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs) is moving up to the 122-lb division in hopes of capturing his fourth division world title and becoming the undisputed champion in a second weight class in 2023. The Inoue vs. Fulton fight will take place in Japan if it successfully gets made. Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs) feels confident that he’ll defeat the 29-year-old ‘Monster’ Inoue with his superior size and technical ability, which he believes will be more than a match for the hand speed & power of the Japanese star. “My Japanese partner is working on, and that also is what we’re trying to get done in April,” said Top Rank promoter Bob Arum to Secondsout when asked about the fight between Stephen Fulton and WBC/WBO super bantamweight champion Stephen Fulton.

For Inoue's fans then this is where they do hope on which he would really be getting all the belts on said upper weight division since he would be still needing to beat up
Stephen Fulton and Murodjon Akhmadaliev to be once again to be undisputed on Junior featherweight (122 lbs.) division on which he's trying to play or fight around.
Or maybe he would be getting those belts and would be moving up on Featherweight that fast or would be still clearing and getting those belts in line. Cheesy

something I noticed when I went to research more information about this fight is that most of the comments on the news sites where they talk about this fight people are giving Naoya Inoue as the guy who will win this fight without much difficulty,

Easy to understand this, Inoue is such an extraordinary fighter and it takes more than an extraordinary fighter to beat him, Fulton is a good fighter except that they are fighting in a weight category where Fulton is very comfortable I just don't see something that will stop Inoue's destiny to conquer the Super Bantamweight category, sure there is such a thing like a lucky punch but I have seen Inoue taking big punches from Donaire and he is able to take it.

some even believe that the Naoya Inoue will win even before reaching the 4th round, anyway I also think and I will bet on Naoya Inoue to win this fight. I saw that the fight could be in April, I saw it on this site:

I like to give Fulton respect and will not predict stoppage as early as that, the guy can punch and can defend himself, but he will eventually be stopped.

to be honest I don't know how far this news can have some truth, maybe it's just speculation or intention to make the fight not be in May and be earlier something like in April, in short it's April or May the most important thing is that the fight happens
