Eddie Hearn is annoyed with WBA super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue for switching to mandatory challenger Muroddjohn Ahmedaev Easier to fight weak opponents who pose no threat of defeating him.

Hearn said the World Boxing Association will write to Inoue (29-9, 26 KOs) on Monday and tell him he must fight Akhmedaliyev (13-1, 10 KOs) next, otherwise He will be stripped of the WBA 122-pound belt.

However, Hearn predicts that Inoue, 31, will relinquish his WBA title and face his WBC No. 1 contender, alan david picassoNext. The two are expected to compete next in Las Vegas, USA. Picasso (31-0-1, 17 KOs) is not well known in the U.S. boxing community, but he has fans from his native Mexico who will be excited to see him fight “The Monster” Inoue.

“Naoya Inoue is directly dodging Muroddjohn Akhmedaliyev. He has been ordered to fight him twice. He has fought two fights (Joon Kaneba and TJ Doheny) not with Akhmedaliyev Yev fight,’ Eddie Hearn says talk sports boxing About Naoya Inoue.

“On Monday, the WBA will write to Naoya Inoue and say, ‘Enough is enough. You must fight Akhmedaev or you will be stripped of the WBA title and you will no longer be undisputed.” WATCH NOW this. Hearn says Inoue will vacate his WBA world title.

“Who is Akhmedaliyev?” said Gareth A. Davies.

Hearn might as well start preparing for Inoue to be stripped of his WBA belt, as he is unlikely to fight Akhmedaliyev. He is too dangerous. It will be interesting to see if the WBA chooses to strip Naoya because he is a popular boxer, making their organization look good to hold the belt. Replacing him with the lesser-known Akhmedaliyev would be less prestigious for the WBA.

Like Canelo Alvarez, Inoue stopped taking risky fights years ago and is now just playing it safe. Fighting a smaller opponent wouldn’t hurt him the way Nonito Donaire did in their first fight. Inoue suffered a broken nose and a fractured right orbital bone. Inoue’s penalties are good, but his shooting isn’t great.
