With the goal of encroaching into the Japanese market, One Championship organized the One 165 event in Tokyo, with the main star Takeru Segawa. The former Kickboxing K-1 champion had a 5-round match with Superlek. He received the final defeat by calculating points.
The fierce match against Superlek was shared by Takeru Segawa on his personal page shortly thereafter. Japanese boxers were hospitalized with a heavy bruise. This is a result of low stone attacks that Superlek continuously launched for 5 rounds, when 2 boxers confront each other.
With the advantage of bodybuilding and very heavy foot attacks, Superlek “stone machine” has dominated Takeru Segawa in the first 2 rounds. But in the third half, Japanese boxers were back strongly. He had a continuous punching during the end of the 3rd half, and seemed to have defeated Superlek.
It seemed that Takeru Segawa would defeat early, Superlek miraculously closed when the third half closed. In the remaining 2 rounds, ONE Championship's Kickboxing champion continued to maintain the advantage with foot attacks. That helps him win after 5 rounds, although the gap is not much.
“Thank fans for supporting. I am sorry for not being able to win, but I have tried hard to look forward to that result in the past months. Honestly, I really want to win and have tried my best. I want everyone to accompany me in the near future,” Takeru shared in tears.
