Former K-1 Champion Takeru “Natural Born Krusher” Segawa shocked the martial arts world by announcing his impending retirement and immediately calling out former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon for his final bout after delivering a spectacular TKO victory over Denis Puric at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri on Sunday, November 16, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
The 34-year-old Japanese megastar dropped his Canadian adversary four times across two rounds before securing stoppage at the 2:49 mark of the second frame, improving his professional record to 45-5 and capturing a US$50,000 performance bonus in the process.
