Naoya Inoue has become two-weight undisputed champion by thrashing Marlon Tapales.

Japan's Naoya Inoue displayed a dominating performance and knocked out Philippines' Marlon Tapales to become a two-weight undisputed champion.

Inoue became the undisputed bantamweight champion in December 2022 when he defeated Paul Butler via TKO. 

The unbeaten Inoue, nicknamed “Monster”, sent Tapales to the canvas with a huge straight in Tokyo to add the World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles to his own World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) belts.

Inoue said: “He never showed fatigue or damage to his face, so I was quite surprised when he went down in the 10th round. It was one of the most intense fights I’ve had before, probably, but my corner cheered me up and kept me focused throughout the bout.”

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 in Tokyo 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.

American Terence Crawford became the first after beating compatriot Errol Spence for all the welterweight belts in July.
