ONE Championship shared footage of Hiroyuki Tetsuka testing himself against sumo wrestlers.
In Nov. 2020, Tetsuka suffered his lone promotional loss in his second fight under the ONE banner. Since then, the Japanese welterweight has separated himself from other contenders by securing four consecutive wins, all inside the distance, including a first-round submission against Abraao Amorim at ONE Fight Night 19.
On April 5, Tetsuka returns to action with plans of winning his second fight in two months. The 34-year-old must get through Valmir Da Silva at ONE Fight Night 21 inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
