"Tennis-Junior" did not waste their trip to cheer for "Rodtang" in Japan, mingling with several top ONE fighters.
On 28 April 2026, Tennis Panipak Wongpattanakit, former Thai national women's taekwondo athlete and world number one in the women's 49 kg category, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time world champion, sent her support to Rodtang Jitmuangnon before his important fight at ONE Samurai 1.
Rodtang Jitmuangnon is scheduled to face Japanese fighter Takeru Segawa in the main event of ONE Samurai 1 at Ariake Arena, Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday, 29 April. The fight is for the interim ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship belt, with the first bout starting at 12:30 p.m.
Takeru aims to avenge his first-round knockout loss to Rodtang, which lasted only 1 minute 20 seconds at ONE 172 in Thailand on 23 March 2025, hoping to conclude his final fight without any unresolved issues.
Recently, Tennis Panipak and her boyfriend Junior Ramnarong Sewokwiharee traveled to Japan to support Rodtang at his hotel, took commemorative photos together, and posted a caption for Rodtang saying, "Let's go all out tomorrow!! Give it everything you have. While waiting for Rodtang, we met quite a few people."
While Tennis Panipak and Junior waited to meet Rodtang, they also had the chance to meet several top ONE Championship fighters who are set to compete the next day, including Jonathan Haggerty, Yuki Yosa, and Marat Grigorian.
