Eddie Hearn Annoys WBA Super Bantam Champion Naoya Inoue Swerving Mandatory Challenger Murodjon Akhmadaliev To make it easier to fight against weak opposition, which is not a threat to defeat him.
Hearn says the World Boxing Association will write to Inoue (29-9, 26 KOs) on Monday to tell him he must defend against Akhmadaliev (13-1, 10 KOs), or he will be stripped of his WBA 122-lb belt.
However, Hearn predicts that Inoue, 31, will vacate his WBA title and face his WBC #1 contender, Alan David PicassoFurther. The two are expected to fight in the US next in Las Vegas. Picasso (31-0-1, 17 KOs) is not well known to the American boxing public, but he has fans in his native Mexico who will be excited to see him fight ‘Monster’ Inoue.

“Naoya Inoue is straight ducking murodjon akhmadaliev. He was ordered to fight him twice. He had two fights [Ye Joon Kim and TJ Doheny] Instead of fighting Akhmadaliev,” said Eddie Hearn Chat box About Naoya Inoue.
“On Monday, the WBA will write to Naoya Inoue and say, ‘Enough is enough.’ You have to fight Akhmadaliev or you will be stripped of your WBA title and you will no longer be undisputed. “Watch this now. Naoya Inoue is going to vacate his WBA world title,” Hearn said.
“Who is Akhmadaliev,” said Gareth A. Davies.
Hearn could also start preparing for the WBA belt to be wrested from Inoue as he is unlikely to fight Akhmadaliev. He’s too dangerous. It will be interesting to see if the WBA decide to take down Naoy as he is a popular fighter, which makes their organization look good to keep the belt. Replacing him with the lesser-known Akhmadaliev is less prestigious for the WBA.
Like Canelo Alvarez, Inoue stopped short of making high-risk fights years ago and is now just a game. Fighting little opposition can’t hurt him like Nonito Donaire did in his first fight. Inoue broke his nose and fractured his right orbital bone. Inoue takes the penalty well, but he doesn’t shoot very well.
