Naoya Inoue trainer teases tactics for Alan Picasso fight in The Ring V main event

Naoya Inoue, the undisputed super bantamweight champion and one of boxing's most entertaining fighters, is back in action on Saturday. 

In what is his fourth fight of the year, Inoue will be making his Riyadh Season debut when he faces Mexico's Alan Picasso in the main event of The Ring V: Night of the Samurai. 

Before the opening bell in Saudi Arabia, DAZN's On the Ground gained access to Inoue's training camp where his trainer and father, Shingo Inoue, revealed how his son will beat Picasso and hopefully set up an all-Japanese showdown with Junto Nakatani in 2026.
