At the ONE 173 press conference, Chatri Sityodtong announced several critical matchups, including the unification featherweight kickboxing title bout between interim champion Masaaki Noiri and champion Superbon, as well as announcements for other top Japanese talents, such as Takeru, Nadaka Yoshinari, and Yuya Wakamatsu.
However, the subject Chatri Sityodtong’s seemingly insulting remarks towards Glory kickboxind RISE kickboxing were walked back by the chairman of the company as he would say that. His statements we’re a result of translation errors.
Interesting Chatri Sityodtong did not walk back his comments towards Glory kickboxing as he only seeked resolution with the Japanese kickboxing promotion RISE.
