Report

Takeru Segawa walked into ONE Samurai 1 carrying the memory of an 80-second knockout loss to Rodtang Jitmuangnon in 2025. He left it a champion. In a grueling rematch, Takeru weathered the Thai icon's power and turned the tide with relentless pressure, stopping Rodtang in the fifth round to claim the ONE Interim Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

It would prove the perfect final chapter: weeks later, citing a cervical disc herniation, Takeru announced his retirement, closing one of kickboxing's greatest careers on a redemptive high.
