The Inoue vs Kim live stream serves up a tale worthy of Rocky Balboa himself at Tokyo’s Ariake Arena. Below we have all the info on how to watch Inoue vs Kim from anywhere, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and start times.
Naoya Inoue is one of boxing’s all-time greats, an undisputed champion in two weight classes who topped the pound-for-pound rankings before Oleksandr Usyk’s victory over Tyson Fury. And he’s putting his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super bantamweight belts on the line against a virtual unknown.
“The Monster” was supposed to fight mandatory challenger Sam Goodman, but a cut eyelid delayed and then shelved the fight completely. Kim stepped in at two weeks’ notice, and if he boxes as well as he talks, Inoue could have a fight on his hands.
Here’s how to watch Inoue vs Kim live streams online and from anywhere.
