DAVAO CITY – Mandatory challenger Michael Dasmariñas of Philippines will challenged WBA and IBF bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue of Japan on June 19 at the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas.
Dasmariñas (30-2-1, 20 KO's) is rated no. 1.
He may not be the first name on everybody's lips, but 'Hot and Spicy' has the chance of a lifetime to upset the odds against the fearsome 'Monster.'
“Be as ferocious as the wild,” said Dasmariñas in a Facebook post.
The top-ranked Filipino southpaw recently had a sparring with the undefeated Carl Jammes “Wonder Boy” Martin (17-0, 15KO’s). The two elite bantamweights had a mind blowing high level sparring session at the Hardstone Boxing Gym.
“Difficulties increase the nearer we approach the goal,” said Dasmariñas.
Dasmariñas and Inoue (20-0, 17 KO's) have agreed to terms for a 118-pound title fight that will be streamed worldwide on ESPN.
Inoue, 28, hasn't been in the ring since he stopped Jason Moloney via seventh-round KO in October 2020.
