Takuma Inoue successfully defended his WBC bantamweight title against Tenshin Nasukawa in Tokyo, winning by unanimous decision. This rematch followed their previous encounter in November 2025, where Inoue also emerged victorious. Referee Michael Griffing did not rule two potential knockdowns during the fight, which may have influenced the match's dynamics.
