WBO bantamweight champion Paul Butler, from UK, arrived in Tokyo, Japan, on Tuesday to participate in an ultimate unification bout with three-belt champ Naoya Inoue next Tuesday (December 13).
Accompanied by his trainer Joe Gallager and ex-titlist Scott Quigg, Butler confidently said, “I’ve done good training and am in great shape. I wish to show a great performance against Naoya.”
We highly expect a good fight.
I just hope Butler has all his insurance and covers in order!!!!
Hats off to Butler that asked for this fight, no doubt he will give all in this fight
The look on his place says it all!!! He looks like a gazelle who just spotted a lion!!
Face….damn autocorrect
“I wish to show a great performance “ .. for as long as I last.. hopefully more 2-3 rounds.
Great performance a bit less impressive than expecting to win-must be getting a good payday to come to Japan to lose his 1/4 title.
I concur with Borimex-1st second I saw the deer in headlights. He might have some good tech. skills but next week Inoue is going on a hunting mission.
props to butler for accepting the fight and traveling to japan
This is gonna be a good one! But what’s with the the Tuesday showtime??
