We all know Nick Ball is the December fight. They aren't even hiding it with Ball fighting Doheny and now Goodman.
So Inoue intends to do as he said all along -- defend at 122 against Akhmadaliev, move up to 126 to fight Ball, move back down to 122 to fight Nakatani, and then back to featherweight until he retires.
The Nick Ball fight isn't even worth his while. Furthermore, Monster would be foolish to add four pounds for one fight, then drop back down to 122. Better to just have a 122 stay busy in September, then Nakatani in February 2026.
