Naoya Inoue has reportedly signed a massive $19.7 million sponsorship deal with Riyadh Season. Undisputed super bantamweight champion Inoue (28-0, 25 KOs) could land in some interesting fights if His Excellency Turki Alalshikh can encourage him.
Yahoo Japan is reporting the signing by the 31-year-old Inoue, who signed a lucrative deal with Turki Alalshikh. Inoue is scheduled to defend his undisputed title against Sam Goodman on December 24 at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo.
Turki will want to put together big fights, and it would be great if he could pick the top fighters from the 126, 130 and 135 for Inoue to fight.
Inoue’s signing could mean he will fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia rather than elsewhere as American fans want to see better fights for him against fighters from the featherweight division, but Inoue has not made the risky move with his career .
