‘Monster’ Inoue begins training at Top Rank Gym

Oct 21, 2020 10:41 am

World Boxing Association super and International Boxing Federation bantamweight champion Naoya ‘’Monster’’ Inoue, now in Las Vegas, NV to defend his titles against top-ranked World Boxing Organization bantamweight Jason Moloney of Australia at the MGM Grand on Oct. 31 (Nov. 1 Japan time), engaged in light training at the Top Rank Gym with his brother Takuma on Oct. 20, according to Ohashi Boxing Gym.

The gym, to which the Inoue brothers belong, said Inoue hit a punching bag after shadowboxing and had a punch mitt workout with the recently retired Koki Inoue, a cousin of Naoya and Takuma. Inoue wound up the day’s training with rope skipping and stretch training.

Inoue ate his dinner at his hotel room. Inoue and his team of members all tested negative in the PCR tests they took the preceding day, the gym added.

The prestigious Ring Magazine has moved up Inoue’s pound-for-pound rankings to the second place only after Canelo Alvarez of Mexico after Vasyl Lomachenko of Ukraine, who was in second, lost to American Teofimo Lopez in a world lightweight unification battle held in Las Vegas on Oct. 17.
