The Japanese Naoya Inoue, undisputed super bantamweight champion (WBC-WBA-IBF-WBO), will fight well on January 24 but will finally face the South Korean Kim Ye-joon (11th WBO) after the withdrawal of the Australian Sam Goodman , it was announced this Saturday, January 11. Sam Goodman was originally scheduled to face Inoue on Christmas Eve, December 24 in Tokyo, but he had already postponed the fight for a month due to an eye injury. Again on Saturday, “Sam Goodman was forced to withdraw from his scheduled fight against Naoya Inoue on January 24 due to a recurrence of his eye injury,” his promoters said in a statement. Goodman, 26, injured his left eye again in training before leaving for Japan, his promoter and manager told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph. At 31 years old, Inoue has achieved 25 of his 28 victories by knockout. In September, he successfully defended his titles by stopping Irishman TJ Doheny. He reunited the four belts in December 2023. He is only the second man, after the American Terence Crawford, to become undisputed world champion in two different weight categories since the start of the four-belt era in 2004. .
