(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 26^th 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.

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).
