Undefeated Japanese flyweight kickboxing contender Hyu is no stranger to the physical demands of fighting at the highest levels. At just 23 years old, he consistently ensures that his body is prepared for each battle as he takes on the best strikers in the world on ONE Championship’s global stage.
This Friday, March 13, Hyu faces his toughest opponent yet at ONE Fight Night 41 against Thai veteran Suablack Tor Pran49 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Suablack is known for his imposing physique, particularly his powerful legs that have led to some impressive moments in the martial arts world.
Despite Suablack’s physical strength, Hyu remains confident in his conditioning program, believing that he can match his opponent in every department. The Team Mehdi Zatout and TEAM3K representative has already secured three knockout victories over notable opponents and looks to extend his flawless 12-0 record in the 135-pound kickboxing division.
One underrated aspect of Hyu’s game is his ability to cut angles and force opponents into unfavorable exchanges. He plans to implement a similar strategy against Suablack, aiming to pressure his opponent and prevent any chance of escape.
Hyu expressed his determination, stating, “He’s physically very solid, too, but I want to apply pressure in my usual way, and I won’t let him escape.” Fans can catch the action live on Prime Video in U.S. primetime, available for all active subscribers in North America.
As Hyu prepares to showcase his skills and continue his undefeated streak, the Japanese slugger is poised to establish himself as a legitimate contender in the competitive kickboxing ranks. With his combination of physical prowess, strategic prowess, and relentless determination, Hyu is ready to take on the best in the world and make a name for himself on the global stage.
