Unfinished Business drives the motivation of Hiroki Akimoto on the way to his long -awaited Rematch with Wei Rui. The Japanese striker is looking for redemption after losing a razor-thin decision in their technical masterpiece last year.
Akimoto is confronted with Wei Rui in Bantamweight Kickboxing Action on One 173: Superbon vs. noiri On November 16 in Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The #4-ranking competitor introduces the momentum from his vintage action against John Lineker on one 172 in March.
Their first meeting at One Fight Night 22 produced three rounds of striking excellence, making fans crave more. Wei’s style influenced by Sanda has hardly deposited the former world champion Kickbokkamioen on the score cards.
The 32-year-old Japanese veteran dominated the bantam weight division of someone with a five-fog winning series before he recorded gold on one x in 2022. But three consecutive losses in two years of damaging his status under Elite Kansebbers.
His victory over Lineker broke that painful slip while demonstrating that he remains able to perform on elite level. Fighting on a home floor offers extra motivation for someone who wants to recover his position on top of the division.
The timing cannot be better for Akimoto to arrange scores with the Chinese striker who derailed his momentum. The support of the birthplace combined with renewed trust creates ideal conditions for revenge.
“I am really happy that I will participate in the Japanese event again, after my previous performance. Just like the last time I am honored to fight again in Japan. I will ensure that I am thoroughly prepared, so that I can deliver an even better performance than before,” Akimoto said.
“I have called this rematch since our last fight, so I have been fired even more now that it is finally happening.”
