ONE SAMURAI 1: Rodtang vs Takeru Retirement Showdown Headlines 4-Title Fight Card Featuring Ritu Phogat In Tokyo

ONE Championship brings ONE SAMURAI 1 to Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday, April 29. The card has 15 bouts across kickboxing, MMA, and Muay Thai, with four World Titles. The main event is Rodtang Jitmuangnon versus Takeru Segawa for the ONE Interim Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

This clash is Takeru's retirement fight. Rodtang stopped him in 80 seconds in 2025. That result shocked many fans worldwide. Now, the Japanese star fights at home for redemption. ONE SAMURAI 1 streams live on pay-per-view in India from 11:00 AM IST.

Rodtang and Takeru clash in high stakes farewell

The headliner pairs two elite strikers with strong followings. Former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang now chases interim kickboxing gold. Takeru, aged 32, has ruled many top promotions. He owns several World Titles already, but ONE Championship gold has avoided him so far.

Takeru wants to finish his long career with this belt. A win would complete his trophy list, in front of home fans. Rodtang looks to repeat his fast knockout. That previous finish adds tension to this Tokyo rematch.

Three more World Titles on the line

The event includes three other World Championship fights. ONE Flyweight MMA World Champion Yuya Wakamatsu defends against Avazbek Kholmirzaev of Uzbekistan. Their meeting is expected to feature heavy striking and scrambles. Each man has knockout power and aggressive grappling skills.

In atomweight Muay Thai, champion Nadaka meets Thailand's Songchainoi Kiatsongrit. Nadaka aims to keep his belt in Japan. ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan Haggerty defends against Japanese challenger Yuki Yoza. Haggerty brings sharp boxing and kicks, while Yoza enjoys local support.

This matchup holds special interest for Indian viewers. Phogat remains one of India's most followed MMA names. A strong performance in Tokyo could lift her profile again. Hirata seeks a major win in front of local supporters.
