TOKYO (AP) — While Japanese boxer Naoya Inoue was winning his title bout against Nonito Donaire, burglars were breaking into his home.

Inoue stopped Donaire

“You saw the news, but what a disgusting thing to happen on a day of celebration," Inoue said Wednesday on his Twitter account. "And so you all be careful, too.”

Police in the Kanagawa Prefecture, where Inoue's home is located, declined comment.
