Two undefeated fighters. Identical 32-0 records. Four world titles on the line. Naoya “The Monster” Inoue faces fellow Japanese star Junto “Big Bang” Nakatani tonight in front of a sold-out crowd of 55,000 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. It’s being called the biggest boxing event in Japanese history, and it’s hard to argue otherwise.

Because this card takes place in Japan, US fans will need to set an early alarm. For our full breakdown of the fight, check out our Inoue vs Nakatani prediction and odds piece.

Inoue vs Nakatani Start Time

The Inoue vs Nakatani main card starts at 4:00 pm JST in Japan, which translates to 3:00 am ET and 12:00 am PT in the United States. Ring walks for the main event are projected after the undercard wraps up, somewhere around 9:00 pm JST (8:00 am ET).

SBD has teamed up with Bet365 on a “Way of the Samurai” bet boost for the Inoue vs Nakatani main event, bumping this same-game parlay from +170 up to +180. It combines Inoue winning by stoppage, scoring at least one knockdown and the fight ending before round 11.

All three legs connect. Inoue has 27 knockouts in 32 fights and has dropped opponents regularly at super bantamweight. Nakatani has never been stopped, but he’s also never faced anyone close to Inoue’s level.

His December debut at 122 pounds was a grind against Sebastian Hernandez, and he looked hittable in spots. Inoue’s hand speed and power should create knockdown opportunities, especially in the middle rounds when Nakatani starts loading up on his uppercuts and leaving himself open.

The under 10.5 rounds leg is the tightest part of this parlay. The full 12 rounds market is a dead-even -120 on both sides at Bet365, so the market is split on whether this goes the distance. If Inoue hurts him early, expect him to pour it on.
