      NAOYA INOUE returns to the ring to defend his undisputed titles against Luis Nery next month. ‘The Monster’ hasn’t been in action since a dominant stoppage win over Marlon Tapales back in December. Naoya Inoue beat Marlon Tapales by KO at the end of 2023Credit: GettyNow he returns to face former two-weight world champion Nery, who was once a highly-touted fighter. Nery has previously fought in Japan against Shinsuke Yamanaka, beating him via TKO in the fourth round.The Mexican failed a drug test after the fight but was later ruled to be due to contaminated food. Nery re-matched and beat Yamanaka but failed to make weight for the bout and was subsequently banned from fighting in Japan.He’s now back to fight in the Land of the Rising Sun, however, but this time he’s up against arguably their greatest ever fighter in Inoue. When is Inoue vs Nery?

      The bout will be held at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan.

      by

      FORMER Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler has revealed he underwent surgery to save his iconic voice.Tyler, who has one of the most recognisable voices in football, faced the terrifying prospect of permanently losing his voice after the 2022 Qatar World Cup.Commentator Martin Tyler has revealed he almost permanently lost his voiceCredit: GettyThe 78-year-old revealed his vocal cords were affected by the climate in Qatar, meaning he struggled to talk.He was subsequently diagnosed with Keratosis of the larynx and underwent surgery.Tyler said: “I overused my voice and the climate in Qatar affected my cords so I realised I needed help.”My voice is my identity but the thought of not working again wasn’t the worst part of it, not being able to socialise was a real prospect.Read More in Football”Not being able to answer the phone, go for coffee with friend and only talking to those who were very close me was frightening.”I’ve had a very long career so losing my living had financial implications, but it was the loss of socialising that hit me.”When I lost my voice I had to go to a few events and it was very difficult. I either had to hide my condition or reveal to people I was close to and who I trusted.”After his operation, the legendary commentator required help from St George’s Hospital’s speech and language therapy team and was assigned Elissa Finn as his speech therapist.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSHe continued: “Elissa was amazing, I have had a very fortunate life but this was the roughest time for me.”It was by far the worst.

They are wonderful people at looking after patients’ best interests.”I am really grateful for their care. I was treated splendidly with care and with humour, which is very important to keep your spirits up.”Since my treatment I have done 40 commentaries. It’s a miracle.

The loss of my voice and the potential of losing it forever was the worst-case scenario.”Tyler has enjoyed a commentary career that has spanned over 50 years.He spent 33 years at Sky Sports before being “stepped down”.He has since continued working for overseas networks this season.
