‘I Want The Title Shot’ – Taiki Naito Has Jonathan Di Bella In Sight After Avenging His Loss Against Kongthoranee
“Silent Sniper” wants to face the Canadian-Italian for the vacant ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.
Japanese kickboxing fighter Taiki "Silent Sniper" Naito avenged his previous loss to Kongthoranee Sor Sommai and extended his impressive win streak in their rematch at ONE Fight Night 49. The bout took place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on November 6, with Naito emerging victorious after dropping his opponent with a well-timed left hook in the final round.
Despite initially downplaying the victory as a "vengeance match," Naito revealed that it marked the beginning of a new chapter in their rivalry. He attributed his success to a well-planned strategy that involved controlling the fight with his punches and avoiding damage from Kongthoranee. The Japanese striker's dream fight now includes a title shot against reigning ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan Di Bella, although he may need to wait until Di Bella defends his belt in December before their ultimate showdown.
