Nakatani (28-0, 21 KOs) is a three-weight world champion and one of the best fighters in boxing. The 26-year-old southpaw has terrific skills, lightning hand speed and fight-ending power in either hand. As much as he’s achieved, his greatest nights lie ahead of him, as he’s in hot pursuit of “The Monster” himself… Naoya Inoue.

Sor Chitpattana (76-1, 53 KOs) is a strong and rampaging lefty out of Thailand. This is a huge step up in class for the 30-year-old contender who has fought almost exclusively in his home country. In his only away assignment, in 2018, he was outpointed by Takuma Inoue in a non-title fight. This will be his first attempt at winning a world championship.

The Sporting News will provide undercard results and a full report on the main event.
