He can turn that dream into reality at the historic ONE 173, where he’ll battle Thailand’s Numsurin Chor Ketwina for the inaugural belt on Nov. 16 at Tokyo's Ariake Arena.

Nadaka, who’s considered by many as the best non-Thai Muay Thai fighter in the world, enters this championship clash as the heavy favorite.

The 31-year-old Japanese technician has been nothing short of spectacular and has proven the hype surrounding him is real since joining the world’s largest martial arts organization.

The Eiwa Sports Gym representative starched his last three opponents, including a devastating TKO win over Hamada 'Black Panther' Azmani last month, to secure his world title opportunity.

Speaking at the ONE 173 Tokyo press conference, Nadaka exuded supreme confidence, leaving no doubt about taking the crown in front of his hometown fans in November.

"There's no reason for me to lose. I have to win this, I have to be the champion, for sure. I have to be the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion soon.”

Before joining ONE, Nadaka held both Lumpinee Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium belts simultaneously.

Now, he wants to add the ultimate prize to his collection, a ONE Championship world title.


Nadaka says he's one victory away from legacy-defining moment

Nadaka's quest for 26 pounds of gold is within reach, and he won't let this opportunity slip through his fingers.

While the Japanese star has the utmost respect for Numsurin's abilities, he will stop at nothing to achieve his lifelong goals.
