Stephen Fulton, The Ring’s No. 1-rated junior featherweight, weighed in at 121.9 pounds for his anticipated WBC/WBO titles defense against Japanese star Naoya Inoue, who is No. 2 in The Ring’s pound-for-pound rankings. Inoue weighed in at 121.7, the heaviest of his pro career, which began in the 108-pound division.

The undefeated, elite-level fighters meet on Tuesday at Ariake Arena in Tokyo.

The fight will be broadcast in the U.S. (during the early hours of the morning) on ESPN+, which will also stream the co-feature of the card featuring The Ring’s No. 5-rated featherweight Robeisy Ramirez’s first WBO title defense against Satoshi Shimizu, both of whom also made weight on Monday.
