    After trying to dethrone Naoya Inoue in January 2025, the best South Korean in 122 lbs (Super Bantamweight) Ye Joon Kim 21-3-2 (13KOs) returns to the ring at 32 years old to make his comeback in November in Pakistan.

    He received 200 000 € for his fight against Naoya Inoue, making him the second highest-paid South Korean boxer in history. The record is held by In Chul Baek, who received a $350,000 briefcase to fight Christophe Tiozzo in Lyon, France, for the WBA Super Middleweight World Championship.

    Wow, the fight was in 2025 and I barely remember his fight with Inoue. According to BoxRec, Kim's nickname is "Troublemaker Pacquiweather". Gotta love that.

    I just remember him as the late replacement for Sam Goodman who also goaded Inoue into throwing a punch and Inoue obliged by finishing him with one punch.
