Teiken Promotions has an epic title bout featuring two prime Japanese boxers this weekend. Champion Takuma Inoue defends his WBC bantamweight title belt against former-kickboxer and -mixed martial artist Tenshin Nasukawa in a rematch. The main event is scheduled for 12 rounds.
On Sunday, Sept. 27, Inoue (22-2-0) vs. Nasukawa (8-1-0) takes place at Toyota Arena Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan with a start time of 3:30 a.m. ET/12:30 a.m. PT. Ringwalk for the main event starts around 7 a.m. ET/4 a.m. PT.
Back in November 2025, Inoue defeated Nasukawa in an unanimous decision. It was the only loss on Nasukawa’s record. The rematch is expected to be extra spicy because of that single loss and the bantamweight title is on the line. Although Inoue is considered the favorite to win the bout, Nasukawa has what it takes for an upset, especially with the prospect of getting some payback and winning the WBC belt.
And with Takuma Inoue competing against Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan, it’s likely the boxing event may feature a few of celebrities in attendance. Including fans who attended past fights, like Ryan Garcia, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and others.
