Who are the key names on the bill?
Beyond the headline of Inoue and Picasso, there's plenty of other figures to catch the eye on this decorated bill, with many hailing from the former's Japan.
Junto Nakatani can position himself as a chief challenger to the winner of the top bout if he prevails in his undercard bout with the fearsome Sebastan Hernandez.
Kenshiro Teraji meanwhile will take aim at Willibaldo Garcia and his IBF super flyweight title, while Taiga Imanaga and Reito Tsutsumi also feature in the mix.
