On the 6th, a boxing event was held at the Tokyo Dome, 34 years after the Mike Tyson vs. James Douglas match on February 11, 1990. The main event was a four-organization world super bantamweight title match between champion Naoya Inoue (Ohashi) and challenger Luis Nery (Mexico).
Nery, who has a history of doping positives and having his title stripped for being overweight, was anxious until he made the weigh-in and the match was confirmed, but when the bell rang, he knocked Inoue down first with a left hook, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Inoue was taken aback by the first knockdown of his career, but he overcame the blow and recovered from the damage, making up for the knockdown with a left hook in the second round. Gradually, he took control of the pace, lowering his hand to provoke Inoue in the fourth round, and knocking him down again with a left hook in the fifth round.
