    Not sure if this has been discussed before but I was talking to Bob Arum yesterday in Belfast and he mentioned that he has a deal in place to sign Naoya Inoue following the conclusion of the WBSS.

    Plans to do Inoue v Burnett as his first post-WBSS fight.

    It's about time Gojira signs with a major promoter.

    I really want Gojira walking in with this as his entrance song.

    Surprised Teiken let it happen. Must be a cooperative thing.

    Wow, they didn't waste any time.

    Was it contingent on a Win or Draw?

    How upset would Arum have been if Nonito Donaire of all people derailed it? Haha, almost.

    At the time of posting, Burnett had not yet retired. He had just signed with Top Rank a few days prior himself.
