Undisputed clash in Tokyo includes custom WBC prize alongside all major belts on the line
Naoya Inoue (32-0, 27 KOs) faces Junto Nakatani (32-0, 24 KOs) on Saturday in Tokyo with all major belts on the line. The WBC has added a $100,000 custom ring to the fight, though it sits alongside a main event already defined by full championship stakes.
The piece is part of the WBC’s Crown Series in partnership with Jason of Beverly Hills, the same jeweler used for championship rings in major U.S. sports. A similar ring was handed to Terence Crawford after his win over Canelo Alvarez in September.
Jason Arasheben, CEO of the company, tied the design directly to Japan.
“Crafted in rose gold, the ring reflects Japan’s sakura season, a symbol of beauty and the fleeting nature of peak moments,” Arasheben said to Ring Magazine. “In Japanese tradition, cherry blossoms embody mono no aware, the understanding that greatness exists in a moment that cannot be held, only experienced.
“A cherry blossom tree is engraved along the side panel, rising from two boxing gloves at its base. The detail connects the fighter’s journey to a deeper cultural philosophy where discipline, honor, and timing define legacy.”
The ring also includes a removable top revealing a miniature boxing ring inside, continuing the Crown Series design approach.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman framed the piece as part of the sanctioning body’s effort to elevate major fights.
“This is what the highest level of boxing looks like,” Sulaiman said. “Two undefeated champions, on one of the most iconic stages in the world, competing for legacy.”
Inoue-Nakatani takes place Saturday at the Tokyo Dome and streams on DAZN.
