Takuma Inoue aiming to emulate brother Naoya

At  the Ohashi Boxing Gym in Yokohama City, Japan, undefeated Japanese WBC interim bantamweight world champion, Takuma Inoue (13-0, 23KOs), completed  four sparkling rounds of sparring, clearly  showing that he is in excellent shape.

Takuma Inoue is preparing for a possible fight against the WBC bantamweight world champion, skilled French southpaw Nordine Oubaali, probably in November.

According to Hideyuki Ohashi, President of Ohashi Boxing Gym of Yokohama and Manager of the Inoue brothers, the negotiations with Oubaali are going very well and that by mid-August everything could be concluded.

Oubaali was the first ever French fighter to win a world title in Las Vegas, and has already declared his intentions to face Takuma in the ring to send a message to his brother.

The WBC interim bantam champion, Takuma Inoue, is the younger brother of Naoya Inoue, who is WBA and IBF bantamweight champion and a fearsome puncher known as the 'Monster'.
