Japan’s Naoya Inoue is a three-weight world champion that holds a unified bantamweight championship. Currently Inoue holds the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation world bantamweight titles. Previously Inoue held the World Boxing Organization junior bantamweight title from 2014 through 2018 and the World Boxing Council light flyweight title in 2014. Just as impressive is that Inoue has never lost a fight.

Moloney has held the regional World Boxing Association Oceania bantamweight title since 2017 and was a previous Commonwealth bantamweight title in 2018. This is the first time that Moloney will compete for a world championship.
