“Cardenas is a beautiful fighter. He’s an all-around good fighter, but for me, it’s easy. No matter how he comes out, I think I have the advantage,” Inoue said.
Cardenas (26-1) is on a 14-fight win streak. The 29-year-old, with 14 wins via knockout, competes in his first world title fight. His journey to reach this point, especially if he wins, will be one to remember.
“I started doing Lyft, DoorDash, and Uber to make ends meet,” Cardenas said. “To fight for a world title is one thing, but to fight for the undisputed championship is the ultimate prize. For me to be in this position shows my work ethic and self-belief because I knew I was going to get here.”
