Takuma Inoue VS Tenshin Nasukawa

Venue: Toyota Arena Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

WBC Bantamweight World Championship bout (118 lbs / 53.5 kg).

WBC Bantamweight World Champion Takuma Inoue (22-2, 5 KOs) will make the second defense of his title against fellow Japanese contender Tenshin Nasukawa (8-1, 3 KOs). The bout will serve as a rematch of their November 2025 meeting, when Inoue handed Nasukawa the first defeat of his professional career by unanimous decision and captured the vacant WBC world title.

Following that victory, Inoue successfully defended his belt against Kazuto Ioka, while Nasukawa rebounded with another victory to earn a second shot at the championship. Their upcoming clash gives Nasukawa the opportunity to avenge the only loss of his professional career and claim his first WBC world title.
