MJ Akhmadaliev on Naoya Inoue choosing to fight TJ Doheny instead of him: "You just received the Fighter of the Year award. You’re considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters. And you’re avoiding this challenge? That’s ridiculous...I respect all fighters, but this fight is four or five years too late [past Doheny’s prime], It doesn’t make sense that someone of [Inoue’s level] would fight an old man who lost his title five years ago – when I beat the man who beat [Doheny] in my seventh professional fight. If that’s how [Inoue’s] proving his greatness, that’s just how it is.”
