Four-division and reigning undisputed 122-pound king Yoshiki Takei will face Daigo Higa on September 3, Top Rank officially announced late Monday night. Their scheduled 12-round bout will headline a Lemino/ESPN+ main event from Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
Inoue is The Ringās No. 2-rated pound-for-pound entrant and the reigning Fighter of the Year.
āHeās a phenomenon,ā Arum told The Ring Friday afternoon. āHeās unbelievable. I think he will go down in history as one of the all-time greats. Iāve never seen any guy that (has the) stature of Inoue, with the kind of punching power that he has. Heās a good boxer, but heās a tremendous puncher. And itās something special to see. And you see what kind of character he has. In his last fight, he got knocked down in the first round, gets up, and destroys his opponent.ā
Top Rank announced the event as for the undisputed championship. However, the WBA has yet to weigh in on his previously ordered mandatory title defense versus Murodjon Akhmadaliev.
Inoue (27-0, 24 knockouts) is coming off a sixth-round knockout of Tijuanaās Luis Nery on May 6 at the famed Tokyo Dome. It came with a brief scare, as Inoue was floored in the opening round. The 31-year-old from Yokohama recovered and floored Nery (35-2, 27 KOs) three times before he earned the stoppage win.
In his previous fight on December 26, Inoue fully unified the 122-pound division after a tenth-round knockout of the Philippinesā Marlon Tapales.
The 31-year-old also notched an knockout win over Stephen Fulton last July 25. The back-to-back wins over unified 122-pound titlists was enough to secure Fighter of the Year honors for āThe Monster.ā
Inoue was also a Ring Magazine and undisputed champion at 118 pounds. He previously won world title belts at 108 and 115 pounds.
Since a close and competitive decision win over former world junior bantamweight and bantamweight world titleholder Nonito Donaire in December 2019, Inoue has stopped his last eight opponents.
Aside from already accumulating a Hall of Fame resume, Arum believes Inoue can still win world title belts and will join the list of a select few who are considered the best ever in the sport.
āIāve been to many Inoue fights, both in Japan and during the pandemic in the United States,ā said Arum, who promoted his first fight card in March 1966. āI enjoy watching him fight. I think heās a real, real sensation. I mean, something, probably maybe, the best fighter of our era. I donāt want to get into the argument if heās better than Floyd (Mayweather), or is he better than (Manny) Pacquiao. But heās certainly up there with all of them.ā
Mayweather and Pacquiao were promoted by Top Rank.
Doheny (26-4, 20 KOs), who is originally from Portlaois, Ireland and now resides in Bondi Junction, Australia, also fought on the same May 6 card Inoue fought on, stopping unbeaten Bryl Bayogos in round four. In his previous fight on October 31, Doheny stopped another unbeaten fighter, Japhethlee Llamido, in the opening round.
The 37-year-old southpaw has won his last three fights since losing to contender Sam Goodson on March 12 of last year.
Doheny was a former IBF world titleholder at 122 pounds, losing the belt in a unification world title fight to then-WBA world junior featherweight Danny Roman in April 2019.
