FOTY rematch? Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire 2 in the works for April

Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire put on a show in their first contest, and it seems like we could be on our way to seeing a rematch of the 2019 Fight of the Year.

According to Donaire’s promoter Richard Schaefer, he is currently in negotiations to have the bout happen this April. Schaefer also stated that they’re also looking to have it staged again in Inoue’s home country of Japan.

“We don’t have a problem going to Japan. Donaire has the balls to go into the lion’s den again. This is one of the biggest fights you can make in the sport,” Schaefer told Boxing Scene.
