Chatri was asked directly at Monday’s ONE Samurai 1 press conference in Tokyo why Rodtang and Takeru will fight for an interim flyweight kickboxing title on April 29, despite Superlek not having defended the undisputed belt since beating Takeru more than two years ago. “But we spoke to him before this several weeks ago and he says for his next fight he would like to defend the flyweight kickboxing world title. “As everyone knows I’m accepting this fight as a one-off, just only for this fight,” he said. Now Takeru has one final chance at revenge – and says it will be his last fight regardless of the result. For now, Chatri’s comments have put one thing on record – Superlek is not done at flyweight.
