We've finally arrived at fight week for the biggest boxing match in the history of Japan.
Undisputed 122-pound champion Naoya Inoue faces Junto Nakatani on Saturday at Tokyo Dome on DAZN PPV.
The wheels were set in motion for the undefeated Japanese stars to face each other on Dec. 27, when they fought on the same card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Inoue (33-0, 27 KOs), the Ring's No. 2-ranked fighter pound for pound, defeated David Picasso (32-1-1, 17 KOs) by a shutout decision, while Nakatani (32-0, 24 KOs), No. 6 pound for pound, won a narrow unanimous decision over Sebastian Hernandez (20-1, 18 KOs) in his weight class debut at 122 pounds.
Rarely do two consensus top-10 pound-for-pound talents face off at the peak of their careers. Who do you think wins Inoue vs. Nakatani?
Who will win: Naoya Inoue or Junto Nakatani?
The biggest fight between Japanese fighters on Japanese soil is scheduled for May 2.
