He has a history of fighting in England and was among the top nominees for Fighter of the Year by RingTV.com and the Boxing Writers Association of America. The Davis-Garcia fight, which drew 1.2 million pay-per-view buys, generated gate revenue of $22.8 million, and the total promotion generated close to $150 million. Davis has hardly been challenged, other than by Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz in December 2021. He has stopped 27 of 29 opponents and handed seven fighters their first defeat.

The next fight for Inoue is likely against Luis Nery, a strong and gutsy fighter at 122 pounds. Experts believe that Nery cannot beat Inoue, so there is pressure for him to increase his weight. However, Inoue will not be pushed into anything he feels his body is not capable of doing. Some experts believe that the only way Inoue will ever lose a fight is if he makes the mistake of going up too far in weight or if age catches up with him. For now, Inoue looks untouchable and is the pound-for-pound number 1 in the opinion of many.
