Earlier this week WBA "Regular" Bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue (17-0, 15) [井上 å°šå¼¥] went to social media and revealed several things.

Firstly he was back in the gym, beginning preparations for his next bout, which will be against Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-0, 12) in the World Boxing Super Series.

And secondly, more importantly, that bout is almost sorted, with Inoue stating he "thinks" the details have almost been decided, relating to the date and venue.

Rumours have been swirling that the bout will be taking place in either the US or Puerto Rico, with Inoue's team preferring the US, and will be taking place in late Spring. At the moment though nothing has been announced.

​It's expected that details will be confirmed for the bout either at the end of this month or early February.
