Takeru Segawa’s highly anticipated ONE Championship debut will happen on January 28, 2024, as he is set to face reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang in a five-round flyweight kickboxing super-fight. The two combat sports superstars will headline the massive ONE 165 card inside the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Takeru is excited to put on a great performance in front of his home crowd and showcase his skills on the global stage. Prior to the official announcement of his first match, the 32-year-old had already gone through a series of mini-camps in Japan, Thailand, and the U.S. One of his highlights was his three-week camp at Boxing Works in California, where he worked on the different facets of his game, including his defense. The former three-division K-1 world champion made his sparring partner hit the air as he was able to dodge the punches from him. He aims to use this technique against ‘The Iron Man’ in their fight, especially since he is known for his powerful combinations. Following the announcement of his showdown with Rodtang, Takeru Segawa posted a photo of their first official faceoff ahead of the match and vowed to put everything on the line to ensure victory. Fans worldwide are eager to see him go toe-to-toe against Rodtang and exchange strikes with him throughout the kickboxing contest.
