[Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25

In any case, what is the latest news? Is this fight only postponed or is there a chance of a cancellation? This might give a chance for Casimero to enter the show if he can challenge someone with a high rank in super bantamweight.

As for now, the status is "postponed", and no rumors of it being canceled. Seems that Fulton's camp is just fine waiting for the rescheduled date to give way on Inoue's full recovery. As per ETA, the rescheduled date will be in Japan's summer period.

As for Casimero, it's easy to challenge those boxers at high rank but the problem is, these top-ranked boxers are not interested "for now" to face Casimero. Quadro Alas should at least settle to fight first at those low ranked and build again his name to be recognized.

Currently, it's good that Casimero has an upcoming fight now. He just needs to continue winning until being involved again in the contender's discussion.

Casimero has to climb the ladder again as he has already lost his superstar status. However, he is showing good development because after a win, he now has an upcoming fight, which I think he has no problem winning. Maybe one day, Casimero will have a championship fight in this division. Besides, he can still attract a crowd due to his good marketing style.

Can't agree more. If Casimero can't work his way to the top again, I'm afraid he'll never get a chance to fight Inoue in the future. He will need to win all his upcoming match up. I'm not sure if they can arrange a fight between Fulton and Casimero, not sure either if that's possible, but it would be a very good start for Casimero if he wins it to build his name again in the top caliber fighters.

There's no doubt that he will be able to climb up. Casimero has been dominating so far, and his power was very evident in his previous fights. That's why I'm expecting a knockout every time he fights against a non-caliber fighter. Hopefully, Casimero will have a chance to fight Fulton in the future. I think that could be a very good fight before the biggest fight in the super bantamweight division happens, which is Casimero vs. Inoue.

I have read an article and accordingly, the fight will probably happen this coming July this year.

When will Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue fight? 
As of now, Fulton vs. Inoue will take place in the summer. Per a recent press conference, Ohashi stated the fight will be held in July in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Tokyo, Saitama, and Kanagawa are being discussed as options).

The former last fought in June, while Inoue's last fight in the summer was in June 2022 against Nonito Donaire. The fight calendar is wide open in June and July, meaning there are no major dates off the table.

Regarding the injury that Inoue suffered, you can read the full article, as it states that the injury was in his fist. Perhaps he hit too hard, and that's why it happened. Not too long to wait as it was only postponed for a month or so, but it's assured that the fight will happen this year since Inoue did not suffer a major injury.

Ok, here the latest date for this fight,

The news came for their official IG account, so the fight is still a go this July as we expected it to be around June or something. But at least for fans for Inoue, we will have a date and no postponement for this fight. And it's 4 months for now, not sure if Fulton will get a tune up fight, or just remain active in the gym or take a break from training and only go back like May for another 8 weeks final training for this fight. Same with Inoue, probably if he had undergone surgery it can heal in the next 2 months and hitting the gym by May as well.

[Sanitough]

This is excellent news for the upcoming fight. As a fan, I don't mind the postponement as long as we have a new date for the bout. With this update, we no longer have to worry about the fight's uncertainty. The mega fight is still on, and I just hope that Inoue's power has not been affected so he can display the same ferocity in the ring that we've seen before.

Thank you for sharing that important news. I was just about to Google if there are recent updates about it but this really helped out.

2 months of healing mean it doesn't sound that bad. What I seem to have difficulty finding is the whole detail of the injury. All I can see is "he hurt himself during training" but no further information afterward.
So I doubt there are surgeries or whatsoever career-ruining injuries here because they gave an exact date. As a fan, all we can do is wait and keep our excitement for now. The good news is, it will still happen and no one is backing out.

The preparation for the fight will not only be about the healing period but also the training period. Perhaps one month will be allocated for healing and another for training, so Inoue should still be in good shape come fight night. It's commendable that they decided not to hide the injury. It's a reasonable decision that not only Fulton but the fans will also understand. We'll patiently wait for the fight to happen.

Its good that it do still resume or continue but of course it would be talking about later or longer date but not that much since 2 months wont really be that too long.It was been said that it was Postponed in the first place and not been cancelled which means that they are really that keeping an eye for this match and its been set despite of  the unexpected injury on where they do able to commit out but its good
that its been resumed. Fans could wait and the most important thing is about recovery on which Inoue should fight on his best shape rather than on proceeding with having these injury issues.

[Lahlad]

It's good that you paid attention to this aspect.

Agree to that, even it was being postponed with this update its assure fans that the fight will happen, and the wait is worthed as
both camps agree to settle it this upcoming July.

Nothing to expect with both side but a good preparation, trainings and video replays with opponents past fights are very important.

Fulton and Inoue are both great fighters who will showcase everything for this upcoming fight.

Yes, I think 2 months is just enough for Inoue to have healed that injury and recover in time and then go in the train to test his knuckles again.

And all we can do is now is to wait for it, not that long least both have more time under to train hard and be in the best shape of their boxing career because this is going to be big specially for Inoue who are going up in weight and try to become a champion again.

Just 4 months of waiting, at least still in the same calendar year.

Yeah, I guess that's once trait of the Japanese people though, I mean they are very apologetic in a sense and so when they say that Inoue is injured, they will have to come up with a new date and probably this is what they come out, a end of July fight.

And we also have to commend Fulton as well, because he understands the accident that happen to Inoue in training and so they have to announced a postponement early. But we have a new date so the fight is still on. I think it might not bothered Inoue, he just can't change his style, just because of his hands. If it heals perfectly then I think he will still have the same or even more power.

If we do speak about Japanese race and its behavior then we could really tell that they are really that somewhat honest and really that transparent when it comes to things.It is really just that great that both camps did really make out their announcement and the other side did really respect it out and without having those thrown words and issues just like on other upcoming shit matches where lots of reasoning and bubble talks do happen in the middle.

We didnt see this thing happen on here but instead they do just announce it out about the postponement and then move out the date.Just like been said that we could really wait and its not an issue
on having more months for us to wait.

There culture is very much different from the West, they want to be brutally honest and transparent and that's what Inoue did here. He doesn't want Fulton to feel uncomfortable in their reschedule fight so they released a new one that Inoue agreed.

We didnt see this thing happen on here but instead they do just announce it out about the postponement and then move out the date.Just like been said that we could really wait and its not an issue

So the ball in on the side of Inoue, he needs to heal that hand and then start training again. It could be just a slight reset on his end. But knowing how professional he is and will go back to his training right away as to not disappoint us.

I agree, Kudos for Fulton as he is willing to wait after that incident, he didn't demand anything but he was willing to wait for the new date, good thing that his camp will not look for anything but will wait till Inoue is ready.

Good thing that there's a date to wait after the postponement of the schedule fight, they need to
wait till Inoue got better condition after the accident injury.

This is the kind of fight we like, there's no discussion that is going on behind the curtains without letting the people know about it. I mean, we as the fans surely have the right to know the situation because that is why we really commend them for being transparent about it. So, what we have now is just a minor setback because Naoya Inoue has been injured and let's just wait for further announcement regarding the timeline of their fight.

I agree, injuries are probably one of the worst aspects of any sport, but at the same time they are inevitable, athletes take their bodies to the extreme so it is natural there are injuries along the process and no one was at fault for this, however it seems the recovery of Inoue will be fast enough and Fulton is willing to wait, which obviously makes the fans really happy about this as I really thought the possibility of the fight being canceled was very high.

True, we don't want to see this happened to athletes specially like Inoue who is still in his prime and already a star in his own right. Luckily, he has the same injury as like the best of the boxers, recently Canelo Alvarez also had to go to a surgery to fix the bone in his knuckles. But there could be worst injuries for a boxers like health issues that could lead them to not fight at all, or even some who suffered from mental issues too.

So there's a lot from this athletes, we think that they are super human because of Inoue's punching power, but it has a caveat, that is, the whole hand is not taking those power very lightly and sooner it's going to break. The good thing is that it's not that serious as it may seem and as I have posted the fight will go on July.
