BRAVE BURGLARS allegedly stole dozens of items from NaoyaInoue's house yesterday while he was fighting Nonito Donaire.
After a second round KO win in his rematch, the 29-year old Japanese star proved that he is still the bantamweight champion.
They renewed their rivalry at the Saitama Super Arena on Tuesday morning, almost three years after their 2019 Fight of the year.
Inoue maintained his IBF and Ring Magazine titles during their first meeting thanks to a unanimous victory.
He did it again, knocking Donaire out of the Saitama showdown in round 2.
Reports from his homeland claim that his home was being ransacked as he was on the job.

During the robbery, thieves allegedly stole jewellery and luxury bags.
When AFP reached out to local police, they declined to confirm the details.
The unbeaten Inoue, however, appeared to refer to the incident in a tweet yesterday.
He wrote, "What a disgusting tale on an otherwise celebratory holiday... Everyone be cautious! !"
TBS reports that two men fled in a white car after they allegedly opened the door to Inoue’s house on Tuesday.
They added that police are still following the duo.
Inoue is now aiming to claim the WBO strap, which Brit Paul Butler holds, and become the undisputed king of 118lbs.
He stated that his goal was to be undisputed champion. If I am able to do this by 2022, I would love for me to remain in this division.
"If I cannot, I'm capable of raising this section and fighting in the higher division."
