SUNDAY: Naoya Inoue vs. Murodjon Akhmadaliev Undisputed Super Bantamweight Showdown to Stream Exclusively on Top Rank’s Facebook Channel in the U.S. & UK
PhilBoxing.com Fri, 12 Sep 2025

Live coverage from Nagoya, Japan, begins at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT
(Sept. 11, 2025) — The highly anticipated undisputed super bantamweight championship showdown between reigning king Naoya Inoue and former unified champion Murodjon “MJ” Akhmadaliev — Sunday, Sept. 14 at IG Arena in Nagoya, Japan — will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. and UK on the Top Rank Facebook channel.
The three-fight streaming broadcast begins at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT/9 a.m. BST, with Inoue and Akhmadaliev expected to make their ring walks at approximately 6:40 a.m. ET/3:40 a.m. PT/11:40 a.m. BST.
Inoue (30-0, 27 KOs) will make the fifth defense of the undisputed title since December 2023, when he knocked out fellow unified champion Marlon Tapales to unify all the belts. This marks the 26th consecutive world title appearance for Inoue, who returns to Japan following May’s stirring eighth-round TKO of Ramon Cardenas at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Akhmadaliev (14-1, 11 KOs), the WBA interim belt-holder, has won three consecutive bouts by stoppage since a split decision defeat to Tapales.
In other streaming action:
• WBO bantamweight world champion Yoshiki Takei (11-0, 9 KOs) aims to defend his title for a third time when he battles Mexico’s Christian “Chispa” Medina (25-4, 18 KOs).
• The vacant WBA ‘regular’ minimumweight belt will be on the line when Yuni Takada (16-8-3, 6 KOs) fights southpaw standout Ryusei Matsumoto (6-0, 4 KOs).
