Netflix are exploring the possibility of streaming a potential super fight between Naoya Inoue and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

That is according to Rodriguez’s promoter, Eddie Hearn<\/a>, who dropped the bombshell last night at the launch press event for Anthony Joshua<\/a>‘s upcoming tune-up fight with Kristian Prenga on July 25.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cTurki Alalshikh, Netflix \u2026 we\u2019ve spoken to them,\u201d Hearn told Ring Magazine. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanna see the fight. [It\u2019s] the biggest fight for Inoue by a mile.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has already made it clear that he intends to book a bout between the two pound-for-pound stars for January in Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To punch his ticket for the mega fight, Rodriguez will first have to overcome WBA bantamweight titlist Antonio Vargas on June 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It marks the unified WBA, WBC and WBO super flyweight champion’s debut at 118 lbs, and he doesn’t intend to stop there.<\/p>\n

If a deal can be struck with Inoue, then Rodriguez will jump up one more division to challenge ‘The Monster’ for his undisputed super bantamweight crown. <\/p>\n

Inoue defended his titles for a seventh time last month against Junto Nakatani<\/a> in a commercial juggernaut. <\/p>\n

The event generated the highest revenue in Japanese combat sports history<\/a>, with the final figure believed to be a shade over 10 billion yen (\u00a346.4m).<\/p>\n

Inoue-Nakatani also shattered the country’s pay-per-view record, surpassing 500,000 domestic buys.<\/p>\n

Now, Netflix want to get in on the action as the company continues its expansion into combat sports.<\/p>\n

The streaming giant has broadcast six boxing events since its first foray into the sport with Jake Paul<\/a> vs Mike Tyson<\/a> back in November 2024.<\/p>\n

While Netflix returned to the crossover clash formula for a bout between Paul and Anthony Joshua last year, it has also dished up plenty of offerings for hardcore boxing fans.<\/p>\n

Canelo Alvarez<\/a> vs Terence Crawford<\/a> and Katie Taylor<\/a> vs Amanda Serrano III both serve as shining examples of why Inoue-Rodriguez would not look out of place on the platform.<\/p>\n

Netflix has no intention of leaving the sport and is already compiling a stunning wishlist for late 2026 and early 2027.<\/p>\n

At the top of that list is the long-awaited all-British showdown between Tyson Fury<\/a> and Joshua, mooted for November.<\/p>\n
