McDonnell’s original plan was to move up to super bantamweight in 2018, however instead stated he wanted big challenges and saw Inoue as a solid opponent to test himself. On March 6, Inoue held a press conference in Japan announcing the fight against McDonnell at the Ota- City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan on May 25, 2018. The fight started at a pace that McDonnell was unable to sustain initially being hurt with a left hook to the top of the head, followed by being sent to the canvas by a two punch combination culminating in a left hook to the body. He bravely got up, only to be sent back down after a series of brutal punches by Inoue including another clean left hook which seemed to discombobulate McDonnell’s senses. The referee waved the fight off within less than a round declaring Inoue the TKO victor.
