During a press conference, Goodman, known for his skill and high activity in the ring, called his upcoming fight with Inoue “the opportunity of a lifetime.” Speaking from Australia, he vowed to be fully prepared, stating,

“But I’m not coming all the way to Tokyo to lie down and get beat like a lot of fighters have.” He also criticized Inoue’s team for overlooking him, noting that they are already planning Inoue’s next fight in the U.S. next year, further fueling his motivation.

This fight promises to be exciting for boxing fans. On the undercard, WBO bantamweight champion Yoshiki Takei looks to continue his successful year against an unknown opponent, while welterweight Jin Sasaki, ranked in the top five by all four sanctioning bodies, faces Shoki Sakai. The undercard features mostly Japanese fighters, adding to the excitement.
