The boxing world is buzzing—and for good reason. On Saturday, May 2, two undefeated Japanese warriors will collide in a massive showdown for the undisputed super bantamweight (junior featherweight) championship. Naoya Inoue, the reigning king with a perfect 32-0 record, puts his IBF, WBC, and WBO world titles on the line against the equally unbeaten Junto Nakatani, who also boasts a flawless 32-0 slate.
This isn't just any fight. It's a high-stakes, 12-round battle where only one man can walk away with the belts—unless a draw throws a twist into the story. The venue? The legendary Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The action kicks off early for U.S. fans, with a start time of 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT, and the main event ringwalk expected around 8 a.m. ET / 5 a.m. PT. Early birds, get your coffee ready.
For those looking to catch every punch, the entire event streams live on DAZN. The best part? If you're already a subscriber, it's included at no extra cost. Not a member yet? No worries. You can grab access starting at just $20.99 per month. For the true fight fan, DAZN's "Ultimate Tier" plan is a steal at $49.99 per month—giving you not only this pay-per-view event but also 11 more PPVs throughout the year, plus over 100 live fights, replays, highlights, and documentaries. It's a flat monthly price with no hidden fees.
When it comes to the odds, the bookmakers have a clear favorite. Naoya Inoue sits at -450 (meaning you'd need to bet $450 to win $100), while Junto Nakatani enters as the underdog at +310 (a $100 bet could net you $310). But in a clash of two undefeated champions, anything can happen inside the ring.
Whether you're gearing up for the fight with your favorite gear or just marking your calendar, this is a bout you won't want to miss. Mark May 2, set your alarms, and get ready for a night of elite-level boxing.
