Today's Inoue vs Tsutsumi live stream tops the bill at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo as Takuma Inoue defends his WBA bantamweight title against undefeated Seiya Tsutsumi. Below we have all the info on how to watch Inoue vs Tsutsumi from anywhere, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and start times.
The younger brother of Naoya Inoue, one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Takuma is carving out an impressive career of his own. Having won the title in 2023 via a unanimous decision over Liborio Solis, he produced a brutal body shot to stop former IBF super flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas in his first defence before outpointing Sho Ishida in May.
Now comes another major test against fellow Japanese fighter Tsutsami. The 28-year-old carries some serious power, with eight of his 11 victories coming by KO. He’s also extremely aggressive, as shown in his last fight when he stopped young Thai prospect Weerawat Noolae in the fourth round. Fighting for a world title for the first time, expect him to make a fast start.
Can Inoue secure his eighth straight victory and hold on to his title? Or will Tsutsami cause an upset and win his first world title? We'll find out very soon.
