Summary of 3 Rodtang Proposals VS 3 ONE Proposals Confirming the Takeru Fight on 29 April at ONE SAMURAI 1

Summary of 3 proposals from "Rodtang" versus 3 proposals from "ONE," confirming that the "Takeru" fight on 29 April will definitely take place at ONE SAMURAI 1 event.

On 19 April 2026, ONE Championship, led by Jitinat Asdamongkol, President of ONE Championship Thailand, held a press conference together with Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Somjit Waenkaew, head of Jitmuangnon gym, and Suntaree Lohapuech, or “Sao Ae,” head and promoter of Jitmuangnon gym, at Jitmuangnon gym. They gathered to discuss and clarify the situation concerning Rodtang Jitmuangnon amid ongoing litigation, in which ONE is seeking 542 million baht in damages, alleging defamation against Rodtang due to his social media posts, as well as matters related to the ONE SAMURAI 1 event in Tokyo, Japan.

Jitinat Asdamongkol, President of ONE Championship Thailand, said, "Thank you everyone for coming to Jitmuangnon gym for today's press conference regarding the recent drama. Neither Rodtang nor ONE wished for this situation to arise. Both sides have felt uncomfortable and hurt, despite having a good relationship until matters escalated into a lawsuit. We are now ready to find a mutual solution to prevent further escalation. We will not revisit old issues but want to focus on a positive way forward. I appreciate Somjit and Sao Ae for helping to facilitate our dialogue."

"We have discussed the ONE SAMURAI event. Everyone wants to see Rodtang fight Takeru. Rodtang is determined to perform his best. We have had preliminary talks and see a positive direction that the fight on 29 April will definitely happen 100%. We want Rodtang to perform fully and hope the world witnesses this fight."

"At the same time, we want to resolve this situation amicably between Rodtang and ONE. Thanks to everyone who helped. We are beginning to see a path toward a resolution."

"Rodtang's request concerns the ongoing legal case that has been submitted to the court. Our team promises to find a joint solution that will be a win-win for all parties."

Rodtang Jitmuangnon said in an interview, "I'm happy. Yesterday I met with P'Plai, and it seems the matter will end well. We reached agreements that satisfy all parties."

Somjit Waenkaew, head of Jitmuangnon gym, revealed, "Everything should conclude today. Regarding Rodtang's proposals, I will have Khun Plai receive them, and the media will witness as well. Rodtang reaffirms his commitment to fight on 29 April. Other proposals will be communicated by Rodtang to the press to serve as witnesses."

Rodtang Jitmuangnon's lawyer revealed 3 proposals:

  1. ONE must withdraw all civil and criminal lawsuits, both domestic and international.
  2. Cancel all contracts, whether verbal or written, that existed previously.
  3. The fight on 29 April will be conducted independently.

ONE's lawyer revealed 3 proposals:

  1. Rodtang should cease all civil and criminal proceedings related to the signature issue and issue a public apology acknowledging the misunderstanding.
  2. Rodtang will no longer mention details of the 2022 contract.
  3. Rodtang will not post or take any actions that cause damage to ONE anymore.
