Naoya Inoue said Friday that he will have to be at his destructive best for his "historic" showdown against dangerous countryman Junto Nakatani at the Tokyo Dome in May.
Undisputed super bantamweight world champion Inoue will return to the venue where he fought in front of 55,000 fans two years ago when he takes on Nakatani on May 2.
Both fighters are unbeaten and the long-anticipated bout is expected to create huge interest in Japan and beyond.
