In fact, Kim is listed as a massive +1400 underdog heading into the fight, while Inoue is an unbelievable -5000 favorite.That means youd have to bet $5000 to make $100 if you put your money on Inoue. If you bet $100 on Kim and he pulls off the remarkable upset, youd win $1400 for a total payout of $1500.Take a look at the highlights from Kim below, and when you see his lack of hand speed, youll understand part of the reason Inoue is such a huge favorite.Boxing is a crazy sport where the unthinkable can happen. Look no further than a month ago, in December 2024, when Bruno Surace came into his fight with Jaime Munguia as a +1200 underdog to shock the powerful Mexican slugger in his hometown of Tijuana.As big of an upset as Suraces KO win over Munguia was, a win by Kim over Inoue would be even bigger. In any case, be on the lookout for post-fight coverage early on Friday morning.Here is a look at the next set of major boxing events coming up, all the way to March, beginning after Inoue-Kim.Boxing Schedule 2025Saturday, January 25, 2025European Title: Dalton Smith vs. Walid OuizzaLocation: Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham, GBTime: Noon (ET)Diego Pacheco vs. Steven NelsonErnesto Mercado vs. Jose PedrazaAndy Cruz vs. Omar Salcido GamezLocation: The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, USTime: 7:00 PM (ET)Saturday, February 1, 2025Adam Azim vs. Sergey LipinetsLocation: OVO Wembley Arena, London, GBTime: 1:00 PM (ET)David Benavidez vs. David MorrellBrandon Figueroa vs. Stephen FultonAlejandro Ramos Jr. vs. Jeison RosarioIsaac Pitbull Cruz vs. Angel FierroLocation: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, USTime: 8:00 PM (ET)Sunday, February 2, 2025WBO World Heavyweight Championship: Claressa Shields vs. Danielle PerkinsLocation: Dort Federal Event Center, Flint, USTime: 8:00 PM (ET)Saturday, February 8, 2025Dereck Chisora vs. Otto WallinLocation: Co-Op Live Arena, Manchester, GBTime: 2:00 PM (ET)Friday, February 14, 2025WBO World Lightweight Championship: (c) Denys Berinchyk vs. Keyshawn DavisXander Zayas vs. Slawa SpomerVito Mielnicki vs. Connor CoyleJared Anderson vs. Marios KolliasAbdullah Mason vs. Manuel JaimesLocation: The Theater at MSG, New York City, USTime: 8:00 PM (ET)Saturday, February 15, 2025Jack Catterall vs. Arnold BarbozaLocation: Co-Op Live Arena, Manchester, GBTime: Noon (ET)Oscar Duarte vs. Regis PrograisHonda Center, Anaheim, California, USTime: 8 PM (ET)Saturday, February 22, 2025The Ring, WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF Light Heavyweight Championship: (c) Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry BivolIBF Heavyweight Championship: (c) Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph ParkerWBC Lightweight Championship (c) Shakur Stevenson vs. Floyd SchofieldWBC Middleweight Championship (c) Carlos Adames vs. Hamzah SheerazVergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Israil MadrimovJoshua Buatsi vs. Callum SmithZhilei Zhang vs. Agit KabayelLocation: Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, SATime: Noon (ET)Monday, February 24, 2025WBC World Bantamweight Championship: (c) Junto Nakatani vs. David Cuellar ContrerasLocation: Ariake Arena, Tokyo, JPTime: 2:00 AM (ET)Saturday, March 1, 2025WBA World Lightweight Championship: (c) Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach Jr.Location: Barclays Center, New York City, USTime: 8:00 PM (ET)Friday, March 7, 2025The Ring Welterweight Championship: (c) Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren PriceLocation: Royal Albert Hall, London, GBTime: 1:00 PM (ET)Saturday, March 15, 2025WBA World Featherweight Championship: (c) Nick Ball vs. TJ DohenyLocation: M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool, GBTime: 1:00 PM (ET)Sunday, March 16, 2025Callum Walsh vs. Dean SutherlandLocation: The Theater at MSG, New York City, USTime: 9:00 PM (ET)
