Interesting to hear Inoue's injury as it gives an indication of how long he'll be out of action.
If "a dislocated knuckle" was referring to the old "boxer's knuckle" injury, then as it requires surgery and a 5 or 6 month rehab, there would be no way of Inoue making a July fight.
For that reason I assume that Inoue hasn't fully dislocated the knuckle. He may have only agitated one, or more, of the many tendons in the knuckle area.
If that's the case, let's hope it gets no worse when he eventually gets back to punching. This must be a worry for Team Inoue as Naoya needs to be able to punch at full power against Fulton.
