Nadaka Yoshinari Makes History
Nadaka Yoshinari secures victory over Praewprao at RWS’s groundbreaking Japan event, seizing the coveted Rajadamnern Stadium Super Flyweight championship in a thrilling battle. The historic clash unfolded on February 12, captivating a packed Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, marking the Rajadamnern World Series’ triumphant leap into the global arena.
“This marks a pivotal moment for RWS as we extend our reach worldwide,” enthused Sarun Ladawon, RWS’s Chief Marketing Officer, reflecting on the electric atmosphere that saw additional standing seats hastily arranged to accommodate the fervent crowd. “It’s an exhilarating start to our international journey.”
The evening showcased a riveting showdown between Thailand and Japan, culminating in a historic headline event: Nadaka Yoshinari’s bid to unify the Super Flyweight Rajadamnern Stadium title, aiming to etch his name in Muay Thai lore as the first non-Thai to claim honors across three weight classes.
Nadaka Yoshinari VS. Praewprao
In a display of sheer dominance, Nadaka Yoshinari showcased his mastery, rendering his toughest challenge to date utterly outclassed. From the opening round, the Japanese sensation unleashed a barrage of knees, elbows, and low kicks, sending Praewprao reeling to the canvas. With unparalleled agility and tactical finesse, Nadaka effortlessly outmaneuvered his opponent, leaving Praewprao chasing shadows in a futile pursuit. Despite valiant encouragement from his corner, the Thai champion faltered against Nadaka’s relentless onslaught. Securing a resounding decision victory, Nadaka Yoshinari cemented his status as the first non-Thai Rajadamnern stadium champion across three divisions.
Fresh from his historic triumph, Nadaka sets his sights on the next pinnacle: a fourth-division title clash against Kumandoi, another luminary in the sport’s pantheon. RWS tantalizingly hints at a potential showdown between Nadaka and either Kumandoi or Khunsueklek.
Kumandoi, freshly crowned in January after dethroning Pangtor, adds intrigue to the mix with his recent foray into kickboxing, albeit marred by a setback against Toki Tamaru. However, Kumandoi’s recovery from a recent motor accident may delay his much-anticipated clash with Nadaka.
Meanwhile, Khunsueklek rides an awe-inspiring 39-fight undefeated streak, setting the stage for a clash of titans should he cross paths with Nadaka, risking his own remarkable 30-fight unbeaten record.
