Tapales to Inoue: Don't sleep man

Marlon Tapales, the newly crowned World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) super bantamweight champion, will be at ringside when Japanese boxing superstar Naoya Inoue meets American Stephen Fullerton this year in Japan.

Tapales said that he would actually be cheering for Inoue, hoping a win for the Japanese against Fullerton, which could give way to an exciting unification and blockbuster bout between the Filipino boxer and the Japanese fighter.
