Naoya Inoue retained his undisputed super-bantamweight world titles with a trademark vicious early knockout of Ye Joon Kim in Tokyo.
‘The Monster’ once again lived up to his billing at the Ariake Arena on Friday, dominating a short-lived contest against his late replacement opponent, who had stepped in to take on one of boxing’s most daunting challenges at just two weeks’ notice after Australian challenger Sam Goodman again pulled out as the result of a recurring injury that also forced his withdrawal from a bout with Inoue on Christmas Eve.
