Naoya Inoue caps The Ring V with assured Alan Picasso rout: Relive full fight highlights

Naoya Inoue made it four wins from four to finish 2025 on a scintillating high note as he demolished Alan Picasso with a unanimous decision at The Ring V: Night of the Samurai.

The Japanese pound-for-pound star seldom looked troubled by the Mexican, his mandatory challenger, as he worked him over across twelve highly impressive rounds in Riyadh.

Victory for 'The Monster' moves him towards a major domestic encounter with countryman Junto Nakatani following the latter's move to super-bantamweight on the same card.

But fight fans will know that something special is needed to prevent Inoue from securing another successful defence of his titles in what is expected to be a major homecoming.
