Tenshin Nasukawa prepares for WBC bantamweight rematch against Takuma Inoue
Tenshin Nasukawa is preparing for a high-stakes WBC bantamweight world title rematch against champion Takuma Inoue, scheduled for September 27 at Toyota Arena Tokyo. This bout serves as a significant redemption match for Nasukawa, who suffered his first professional loss to Inoue via a unanimous decision in their previous encounter.
During a recent public training session at Teiken Gym, Nasukawa demonstrated updated techniques, including a lower center of gravity and a more aggressive forward-moving style. Trainers from the Inoue camp noted these changes, observing that Nasukawa appears more grounded and determined following his previous defeat. Nasukawa described his preparation as a 'return to roots,' emphasizing a shift in mindset toward personal strength and accountability.
The event will be broadcast exclusively via Prime Video. The fight is part of a major boxing card that includes several other title matches, such as the IBF super bantamweight interim title fight and the WBC super flyweight title bout.
