A fight week of monstrous proportions has just landed.

Japanese pound-for-pound icon Naoya Inoue (29-0, 26 KOs) will defend his undisputed junior featherweight world title against San Antonio native Ramon Cardenas (26-1, 14 KOs) this Sunday, May 4, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Inoue has not fought in America since 2021 and has since won a pair of undisputed titles, cementing his status as a generational power-punching force.

In the co-feature, Mexican featherweight king Rafael Espinoza (26-0, 22 KOs) will defend his WBO crown against former world title challenger Edward Vazquez (17-2, 4 KOs).

Inoue-Cardenas and Espinoza-Vazquezwill be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
