The final boxing event of the weekend features an Undisputed Junior Featherweight Championship fight between 122-pound king Naoya Inoue vs. Ramon Cardenas. This is Inoue’s second fight of 2025 and first in Las Vegas, Nevada, since June 2021.

Inoue, 32, continues to become a bigger star in boxing each time he delivers a spectacular performance. In Inoue’s previous fight against Ye Joon Kim, he earned $7 million, the largest purse of his career. According to SportsKeeda, Inoue is expected to make $7 to $7.5 million for his championship bout on Sunday against Cardenas. The challenger’s purse for this fight will likely be between $1 and $1.5 million.

Inoue is a massive favorite at -5000 on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Cardenas is the underdog at +1500.
