TOKYO: Japan’s Naoya Inoue became an undisputed world champion at a second weight on Tuesday after knocking out the Philippines’ Marlon Tapales in the 10th round to claim all four super-bantamweight belts.
The unbeaten Inoue, nicknamed “Monster,” sent Tapales to the canvas with a huge right hand to add the WBA and IBF titles to his own WBC and WBO belts.
Inoue, who took his record to 26-0 with 23 KOs, becomes only the second man to unify all four world titles in two different weight classes.
