Interview with Naoya Inoue - Enthusiasm for new challenges spreading around the world
A: Being able to sign a contract like this at a time when I am at the peak of my career gives me new motivation, so I am very excited about this contract. .
A. I think the way I think about boxing will change a little, so in that sense, I want to show a different side of myself in the rings in Japan and overseas.
A. Just because my trunks have a new logo doesn't mean my boxing itself will change, so I want to continue to stick to my own style of boxing.
A. I think it's a place that only a limited number of players can reach, and I don't think it's a stage that everyone can reach.
A. Other matches have already been scheduled for this year, and I don't know what will happen next year, but if the timing is right, I would definitely like to come to Saudi Arabia and play a match, and I think I can only live up to those expectations. That's what I think. And I think I'll just show the same performance to the people in Saudi Arabia that I've been showing in front of the people in Japan.
