May 14 – IBF Super Bantamweight No. 1 Sam Goodman Returns to the Ring, Faces Naoya Inoue’s Sparring Partner・5月14日,IBF超雏量级排名第一的萨姆·古德曼将重返拳台,对战曾是井上尚弥拳击陪练的选手。

Sam Goodman, IBF Super Bantamweight No. 1, Set to Return to the Ring on May 14

Sam Goodman (Australia), the IBF super bantamweight No. 1, WBO No. 2, and WBC No. 3, with an undefeated record of 19 wins (8 KOs), is scheduled to return to the ring after previously withdrawing from a January 24 bout against undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue (29-0, 26 KOs) at Tokyo’s Ariake Arena due to a left eyelid injury.

Goodman will face WBC bantamweight No. 21 and WBC FECARBOX bantamweight champion Cesar "Baca" Espinoza (Mexico) — with a record of 19 wins (12 KOs), 1 loss, and 1 draw — on May 14 (May 15 Japan time) at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Australia.

In December last year, Goodman suffered a laceration above his left eyelid requiring four stitches during sparring. The injury caused the original bout with Inoue to be postponed by one month. However, during a sparring session on January 11, Goodman reinjured the same area, this time requiring 14 stitches, forcing him to formally withdraw from the title challenge. Goodman underwent corrective surgery, with an initial recovery estimate of six months. However, he is now returning to the ring sooner than expected.

This will be Goodman’s first fight since July 10 last year in Wollongong, Australia, where he defeated WBC super bantamweight No. 8 Chainoi Worawut (Thailand) (25 wins, 15 KOs, 1 loss, 1 draw) by unanimous decision over 12 rounds. “I can’t wait to get back in the ring,” Goodman stated, as he sets his sights once again on a world title opportunity.

 原定于1月24日在东京有明竞技场举行的四大组织统一世界超雏量级冠军井上尚弥(大桥所属,29战全胜,26次KO)卫冕战,由于对手——IBF世界超雏量级排名第一、WBO排名第二、WBC排名第三的萨姆·古德曼(澳大利亚,19战全胜,8次KO)——左眼睑受伤而取消。如今,古德曼确定将重返拳台。

他将于5月14日(日本时间15日)在澳大利亚悉尼的霍登馆迎战现WBC世界雏量级排名第21位的WBC FECARBOX(中美洲拳击联合会)雏量级冠军、来自墨西哥的塞萨尔·巴卡·埃斯皮诺萨(19胜12KO,1负1平)。

古德曼在去年12月14日的拳击训练中,左眼睑被打伤缝了四针,原定10天后与井上的比赛被迫推迟一个月。然而,在今年1月11日的训练中,同一部位再次受伤,这次缝了14针,最终正式宣布退出挑战井上的比赛。古德曼随后接受了伤口修复手术,原本预计需休养六个月,但他恢复进度超出预期,如今已决定提前复出。

这将是古德曼自去年7月10日在澳大利亚伍伦贡击败当时WBC世界超雏量级第八名的泰国拳手猜诺伊·沃拉乌特(25胜15KO,1负1平)以来的首场比赛。当时他以12回合判定获胜。对于即将重返拳台,古德曼表示:“我等不及要回到拳台上了。”他再次将目标锁定在挑战世界冠军头衔上。

The 23-year-old Espinoza traveled to Japan in June 2023, where he served as a sparring partner for Naoya Inoue. His only professional loss came on December 16, 2023 (December 17 Japan time) in Tijuana, Mexico, when he faced Erik Robles (Mexico) — who held a record of 16 wins (10 KOs) and 3 losses — in a bout for the vacant NABO super bantamweight title. Espinoza lost by unanimous decision with scores of 94-96, 92-98, and 92-98. Since then, he has bounced back and is currently riding a three-fight winning streak.

现年23岁的埃斯皮诺萨曾于2023年6月来到日本,担任井上尚弥的拳击陪练。同年12月16日(日本时间17日),他在墨西哥蒂华纳参加了NABO超雏量级冠军决定战,以10回合点数(94-96、92-98、92-98)败给了同为墨西哥选手的埃里克·罗布雷斯(16胜10KO,3负),这是他职业生涯中的唯一一场败绩。此后,他取得了三连胜。
