The East will become the epicenter of adrenaline when Japan’s Naoya Inoue takes on South Korea’s Ye Joon Kim in a fight where the ‘Monster’ will put his four super bantamweight titles on the line.
After the fight against Australian Sam Goodman fell through, a fight that had to be canceled twice, Ye Joon Kim comes in as Goodman’s replacement, but this will not be a walk in the park for the Japanese fighter.
