Naoya Inoue has said he is open to a fight with fellow pound-for-pound talent Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, although an all-Japanese clash with Junto Nakatani is seemingly still next.
On Saturday, Inoue headlined a card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which also featured Nakatani, with the idea being that a victory for each man would set up a much-desired showdown in 2026.
