Fight details
Naoya Inoue meets replacement opponent Ye Joon Kim. The Korean steps in for Sam Goodman, who suffered a reopening of the same cut that forced the first postponement. Hailing from Seoul, the ‘Troublemaker’ is 21-2-2 (13 KOs) but has never been stopped but he has never faced this level of competition before and will have to produce a career-best display to trouble undisputed king Inoue.
