Naoya Inoue wears all four world bantamweight championship belts after defeating England’s Paul Butler for the WBO title on Tuesday night at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, adding to the WBC, WBA and IBF titles he already held. The 29-year-old Inoue scored an 11th-round knockout to become the first Japanese in boxing history and ninth overall to hold all four belts in one weight class concurrently, and extend his Japan record of consecutive victories in world title fights to 19.
