Since winning the One Championship championship three years ago, Tawanchai has experienced 4 successful belt protection. However, not all Tawanchai victories are convinced. At some point, he was inferior to the opponent but still the winner.
Entering earlier this year, Tawanchai decided to try the Kickboxing format. The first opponent of “Prince One Championship” was Masaaki Noiri. Previously, noiiri was a K-1 champion. He has joined the One Championship since 2024, but the achievement is not too impressive.
Before the match against Tawanchai, Masaaki Noiri played 3 matches at One Championship. However, his achievement is not really impressive: 2 losing, 1 win. The Noiiri was trapped on the championship with Tawanchai even considered “clearing the way” to “prince” to acquire the title.
However, Noiiri has shown that he is not a roadside. The advantage of playing at home has helped Noiri show the face completely different from the previous matches. Japanese boxers actively attacked, and constantly pressed Tawanchai with very heavy blows.
The turning point of the match came in the third half, when Noiiri had a very strong left blow hit the Tawanchai chin. Thai boxers tried to return to the competition after being knocked out, but now he was really drunk. Noiri won and attacked continuously. Witnessing Tawanchai unable to defend anymore, the referee decided to stop the match.
The victory over Tawanchai helped Noiri officially hold the temporary championship of One Championship in the Kickboxing format, weight featherweight. Meanwhile, Tawanchai will need more time to rest after this loss, and will likely return to the Muay arena.
