The title defense match of Asia's strongest boxer Naoya Inoue will be broadcast live.
A big match that will capture the attention of boxing fans worldwide is approaching. Naoya Inoue (Japan), the strongest boxer born in Asia, will defend his unified title against Ramon Cardenas (USA) on May 5 (Monday) at 9 AM. The match will be exclusively broadcast live on MBC Sports Plus.
Inoue boasts an overwhelming record of 29 wins and no losses (26 KOs). He is the unified champion of the four major boxing organizations: WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO in the super bantamweight division, and currently holds the highest winning percentage in world title matches. Known as the strongest Asian boxer since Manny Pacquiao, Inoue is expected to achieve a strong victory in this defense match as well.
His opponent, Ramon Cardenas, is a solid rising star with a record of 26 wins and 1 loss (14 KOs). Riding a recent 14-fight winning streak, he is determined to shake up the boxing world by defeating Inoue. The biggest question is whether the undefeated champion Inoue will defend his belt or if Cardenas will cause a major upset.
This broadcast is a special program prepared by MBC Sports Plus to celebrate the golden holiday in May, providing a valuable opportunity to enjoy thrilling sports excitement with family. The intense showdown between world-class boxers is set to make the long holiday even more special.
In addition to the Inoue vs. Cardenas unified title match, the live broadcast will feature a total of four matches, including the WBO featherweight title match Vasquez vs. Espinoza, super lightweight Maidana vs. Polanco, and super lightweight Moya vs. Vargas. These matchups are expected to be extremely close, raising the anticipation among boxing fans.
It remains to be seen whether the 'Monster' Inoue will surprise the world once again or if a new star will emerge. The fateful boxing showdown can be exclusively watched on May 5 at 9 AM on MBC Sports Plus.
