What has been said?

TJ Doheny was a high-class opponent in his last fight and Naoya still knocked him out, so we have to give him credit,

Sor Chitpattana is a good contender but I’m focused on training and what I am doing,

I feel stronger at 118 pounds since I don't have to cut the extra weight. My speed helps trigger knockouts.

"I'm going to do what I have to do for now,” Nakatani told BoxingScene through a translator after a recent training session at the LA Boxing Gym.

If there is a chance, I will. I would like first to fight his brother Takuma and then Naoya.
