Some words from the fighters:
Hiroyuki Tezuka:
I am very pleased to be able to play the match after a long time. The opponent is the king of Africa, but I win with KO and make an impact. Which is the real beast! ? I am looking forward to it!
Gunter Calunda:
Hello to everyone in Japan. I am Gunter from the Democratic Republic of Congo. I am a champion in the South African EFC and I am participating in the ONE Warrior series. I usually only practice with my brothers, so I came to Japan in search of a better life and practice environment. I am fortunate to be able to have a match in Japan. The opponent is Pancrase champion Tezuka. He seems to be called the Beast, but who is the real Beast? I am the one who has beaten Beasts and others in Africa. I’ll let you know who the real Beast is, so please take a look, Japan.
Masakazu Imanari:
Care for your health and I will win with an extreme move.
Yuta Nezu:
Thank you for your offer in a difficult situation due to Corona! I’ve never thought I’d do it, but I think it’s something to prove this time. I hope we can have a good fight that will be tomorrow’s inspiration for the people watching!
Chaoyang/PK Senchieime Thai Gym:
I am happy to be able to participate in such a competition again. Road to ONE, which I fought in last time, I also won a good match with a KO. I am looking forward to a fight that exceeds the last one, so please look forward to it. Please provide some support.

I will get a victory.
