Inoue vs. Nakatani: Only the 4th Boxing Event in Dome History

The Tokyo Dome, known worldwide as “The Big Egg,” is not just the home of the Yomiuri Giants baseball team; it is a cathedral of boxing that only opens its doors for history-altering events. With only four major boxing cards held since its inauguration in 1988, every time the bell rings in this venue, the world stands still.

Mike Tyson vs Tony Tubbs

The Dome’s relationship with boxing began with Mike Tyson. On March 21, 1988, Tyson inaugurated the venue  by facing Tony Tubbs. At the time, “Iron Mike” was a force of nature and dispatched Tubbs in just two rounds, proving he was the baddest man on earth. This was Tyson´s sixth WBC title defense.

Mike Tyson vs James Douglas

However, the Tokyo Dome also witnessed the end of an era. In 1990, Tyson returned to face James “Buster” Douglas. What appeared to be a routine defense resulted in the greatest upset in sports history: Douglas knocked out Tyson in round 10 shattering his undefeated streak and leaving an indelible mark on Japanese soil. A Fight also known as “the Long Count”.

Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery

Thirty-four years passed before boxing returned to the Tokyo giant. The task of breaking that fast fell to the local idol and current pound-for-pound king, Naoya “The Monster” Inoue. In May 2024, Inoue faced Mexico’s Luis Nery in an electrifying bout. Despite Inoue being knocked down in the first round for the first time in his career, he rose to deliver a masterclass and knocked out Nery in  five spectacular rounds, unifying the super bantamweight division and restoring the Tokyo Dome’s status as the epicenter of world boxing

Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani

The history of the Tokyo Dome will add a new chapter this May 2026. Naoya Inoue is expected to return to his “home” to face the most dangerous rival of his recent career.

Monster and Big Bang Shebang

By James Blears

Forget King Kong vs. Godzilla… for this is The Monster vs. Big Bang, intervening, intertwined with the power and the glory, all wrapped up in one helluva story, still to be told and yet to unfold.

Dateline May 2nd, in the fifty-seven thousand capacity Tokyo Dome. The most spectacular high impact night of fight in the entire history of Japanese Boxing. As, undefeated, undisputed, up to now unrivalled super-bantamweight champion, Superstar Naoya “Monster” Inoue, defends his crown against also undefeated would-be Supernova usurper Junto “Big Bang” Nakatani.

Take a moment to contemplate its sheer enormity. Naoya has won titles sweeping through four weight divisions like a dose of salts, and he’s undisputed in two. Came, saw and conquered. Then there’s Junto, who has won world titles in three divisions. Between them they have clocked up fifty-one KO’s in sixty-four combined bouts of tempered kinetic mayhem. Inoue 32-0, 27 KO’s. On the other hand, which is southpaw 32-0, 24 KO’s for Nakatani.

Handshakes, bows and polite, formal respect. No need to harangue Big Bang, vice-versa or even worser, because that sort of trash-talk verbiage would be futile garbage. Both have already categorically proved that their actions and deeds speak clarion louder than their words. Both are softly spoken yet both carry a big stick. For the moment, let’s leave those well-chosen words of praise plus wisdom to the expert analysts, and none better than the Great Teddy Atlas.

Of Naoya Teddy says: “I’ve always favoured the 1930’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, as Boxing’s best. But Inoue could have fought with the greatest of any era. He’s the full package, which consists of speed, power, smarts, technique, brains, instinct, timing and controlled ferocity. Simply special!”

Turning to Junto, Teddy enthuses: “He can fight on the outside. He probably should for the most part. He can control range. He can set up counters. He’s got good legs, he can use the ring. He can make you walk into mistakes. Then… all of a sudden, he takes that height and reach and shrinks himself down. He goes inside and fights like Joe Frazier. Then he fights like Jake LaMotta. He’s unbelievable!”

So, after rightfully singing their praises, let’s gauge their blemishes and imperfections, as after all, they’re only human and born to make mistakes. Naoya, who loves to swarm in two fisted, can then be susceptible and vulnerable if a gap can be found through the chainmail of his Harry Greb style windmill attack. The most effective weapon of choice for that purpose, is the left hook. In their first and epic encounter Nonito Donaire inflicted considerable damage in round two. His left hook, fractured Naoya’s right orbital bone, sliced open his brow, broke his nose and rendered him with double vision for the rest of the fight. Just one punch did all that!

Characteristic of a champion Naoya, overcame the pain, refrained from fretting about injuries, went on to put down a tiring Nonito in round eleven with a hellacious left hook to the liver, and won a career defining UD. The rematch was brief and clinical and cataclysmic. Former two division southpaw champion Luis Nery felled Naoya in round one. Shocked and chastened Naoya got up and finished the round cautiously. In round two he dropped Nery with a jarring counter left and again in round five. Then in for the coup de grace in the sixth via a massive crumpling cannonade right and moments later, the Referee stopped the fight.

Yet again and this time against rugged Ramon Cardenas an early shock, as Naoya was decked in round two with that nagging left hook, and all of a sudden, he had a nose bleed. Wicked, sinking body shots slowed down Ramon, who was decked by two pinpoint rights in the seventh and saved by the bell, but then and by this time ragged, overwhelmed in the eighth by an unremitting barrage. He was being pummelled from pillar to post and then on to the ropes. So, the left hook can pose problems for Naoya Inoue early on, and Junto Nakatani is a southpaw. Junto specializes in left hooks and uppercuts. Beware and be aware Naoya Inoue!

Junto came close to blotting his copybook in a rocky debut as a super-bantamweight, against the fast and hard-hitting Sebastian Hernandez, who threw clusters of rapid-fire punches and came on strong in the second half of the fight. Junto won a UD, but it was far from convincing or comfortable. Putting a brave face on it, he ruefully conceded: “It was a great learning experience for me. My opponent put up a great fight and it enabled me to grow accordingly.”

Interestingly Naoya, who was closely observing this fight took a salient positive from a negative by generously saying: “It’s made Junto a stronger boxer. So, I’ll have to be on my toes and ready to go on fight night.”

With Naoya, Junto will also encounter a volume puncher, who is even more accurate and gains top marks by hitting a great deal harder, especially denting the body. Failure to adjust to that, would lead to severe pruning, curtailing growth.

Hopefully, Naoya will have rested and recuperated after his four fights crammed into 2025, which bordered on a bridge too far, even for him. As he himself said: “I’m very happy to have won four fights in one year. But, I’m actually really tired, so I would love to rest for a while.”

Naoya is thirty-three. He’s five feet five inches tall and his reach extends 67.5 inches. Junto is five years younger, three inches taller, yet his reach is only one inch longer. Significant, as they’re both ambitious to reach for the sky. Neither has ever tasted the bitter cud of defeat. Naoya has earned his nickname. He’s ruthless, executes effortlessly efficiently and is right up there with Grendel, The Jabberwock and The Kraken. Junto is an ice cool, calculated axe-man, who can finish it at any moment with just one blast. Sometimes, the best to last, to which Andrew Moloney can attest. As the children’s poem chillingly beckons: “Here comes the candle to light you to bed… and here comes the chopper, to chop off your head!” Junto is tutored in the Mexican manner in LA by Rudy Hernandez. While Naoya prefers to keep it in the family.

Coaching, training and fighting are the required sum of the parts of the whole, but there are yet more ingredients and intangibles involved. The brilliantly perceptive and adaptive Angelo Dundee said: “Great coaching isn’t about forming a mold- it’s about understanding an individual. Every fighter has a different rhythm, mindset and set of strengths. Trying to copy someone else can limit what makes a person unique.”

A fighter studying an upcoming opponent can assess strengths, vulnerabilities and foibles. But gauging mindset on the night of the fight, is altogether more difficult. And when two great fighters are matched and ignite, it can boil up and then down to who wants it the most, and who is prepared to dig down deepest into that mine, to extract the uncut diamond.

Will their sublime time extend to the full clocked distance, opening the doors wide to a rematch or even a trilogy? Or will it, as I believe end, with one of them inflicting just too much for the other to withstand, as knuckle renders buckle. We are going to witness Greatness tried and tested to its outer limits. Both are composed and ready to encounter the impending storm.

Junto’s best weapons are his counter left hook, straight left, searing uppercuts, but also his pinpoint range-finder distance judgement. While Naoya’s lances lie in his lightning advances, clobbering, crunching and sinking body punches plus his ensuing sparking jolts to the head, which shock.

Wonderful, fitting, appropriate and apt if all-time Great Masahiko “Fighting” Harada who celebrated his eighty-third birthday on April 5th and is President of the Japanese Boxing Association, could be in attendance, to bestow his blessing on and anoint this historic fight, along with an accompanying constellation of Stars. As pioneers, they charted the course and then embarked upon the voyage for Japanese boxing globally. While domestically, they themselves strived, by preparing the ground into which the seed was sowed, growing into the most exquisite cherry tree blossom. It would also dovetail in perfectly with the Japanese reverence and respect for tradition. What goes around comes around. The sun rises, reaches noon zenith, sets and then Planet Earth re-aligns itself for the next dawn to emerge over The Land of The Rising Sun.

Civility, civvy street attire, but on this night of all nights, just pure willpower, directing and governing firepower. As in the duet of Sinatra and Crosby crooned: “What a swell party.” And the poet Kaitlyn Caddelle observes: “The sun sets, the moon rises and off come all the disguises.”
