This is another great fight, and if Inoue wins here, I think he already clean up the division, although there are just one name that is going to be a big question, it's John Riel Casimero of the Philippines.
This could have been delayed though, as the fight could have happen if not for Tapales upsetting Akhmadaliev, but at least it's not too late. And September will be perfect as there are reports that this could also in the card of Joshua vs Dubois in Middle East. But we will see if Inoue is willing to go out of his comfort zone and fight outside of Japan. And who can't refused the money that is going to be offered by HE Turki Alalshikh for Inoue just to go to Saudi and meet Akhmadaliev?

The WBA is asking Naoya Inoue and Murodjon Alhmadaliev to negotiate the fight for the Super Bantamweight belt. They have until July 14 to reach an agreement or submit to an auction, they say, no later than September 25.
Mandatory negotiations #InoueAkhmadalievWe will be seeing one again Inoue before the year ends. So much will again be amazed how Inoue will KO Akhmadaliev but after learning how he was knocked down the last time, Akhmadaliev may be seeing it his chance. Akhmadaliev is next to Inouie in the WBA rank, his only loss was with Marlon Tapales which was a close fight. Who knows what Akhmadaliev can do
In all metrics, Inoue still has the edge in striking power, precision, and overall fight experience making him a formidable opponent. But this is a mandatory fight, I guess Akhmadaliev has to face him.
