Hyu prepares for flyweight kickboxing bout against Hyuma Hitachi at ONE SAMURAI 3

Kickboxing prospect Hyu faces RISE Super Featherweight Champion Hyuma Hitachi in a flyweight bout at ONE SAMURAI 3 this Saturday, September 12. The event takes place at the Yokohama Buntai in Yokohama, Japan. Hyu enters the match following a unanimous decision loss to Taiki Naito at ONE SAMURAI 1 in April. The 23-year-old fighter, who holds a 13-1 professional record, cites a lack of composure and over-fixation on a knockout as the primary factors in his recent defeat. He aims to return to his disciplined roots against Hitachi, who makes his ONE Championship debut this weekend. Hitachi holds a 15-6 career record and is known for his punching power and the flying crescent kick.
