Naoya Inoue Aims for Seventh Title Defense Against Challenger Murodjon Akhmaliev

Naoya Inoue, known as the “Monster,” is set to fight for his third Super Bantamweight Championship on September 14, 2025. This bout comes a day after Canelo Alvarez is scheduled to defend his super middleweight title against Terrence Crawford in Las Vegas. The announcement was made at a press conference in Japan hosted by Ohashi Promotion.

Inoue, ranked as ESPN’s second pound-for-pound fighter with a record of 30-0 and 27 knockouts, recently won an exciting 8-round match in May and knocked out Kim Ye Jun in January. His opponent, former unified super bantamweight champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev, holds a 14-1 record with 11 knockouts. Akhmadaliev has been on a knockout streak with three wins since his May victory over Luis Castillo, including a split decision win over Marlon Tapales in 2023.

Inoue is expected to fight for the fourth time this year, with a potential unification bout against David Baez predicted for December 27 in Saudi Arabia, assuming both fighters win their upcoming matches. Additionally, in the co-main event, Yoshiki Takei (11-0, 9 KOs) will defend the WBO 118-pound title against challenger Christian Medina (25-4, 18 KOs).

Fan Take: This matchup is highly significant for fight fans as it pits two of the best in the super bantamweight division against each other, promising high-level action and potential legacy-defining moments. It also highlights the growing global appeal of boxing, with major fights scheduled across different continents, elevating the sport’s international profile.
