Carrington Invites Inoue To Featherweight

WBC featherweight champion Bruce Carrington says he would welcome Naoya Inoue to 126 pounds.

Inoue, a four-division champion, is considering the move after defending his undisputed bantamweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">super bantamweight title against Junto Nakatani in May.

Carrington, who retained his belt against Rene Palacios in July, made his interest clear. “He’s talking about coming up to featherweight, so why not get it on with me?” Carrington.

A featherweight run would give the 33-year-old a chance to become a five-division world champion.
