Another issue attracting attention from fans is Rodtang’s contract situation. The fighter has said on his personal social media accounts and in media interviews that his previous contract with ONE has already expired, and that he is currently negotiating and reviewing the terms of a new agreement.
Rodtang has made it clear that he has no problem at all with the promotion. He also confirmed that the April 29 fight against Takeru will be a special bout outside his existing contract arrangements, and said he is now fully prepared and determined to bring the world title belt back to Thailand.
For fans wanting to follow the latest developments, ONE Championship chairman and chief executive Chatri Sityodtong is set to lead a major launch press conference for ONE Samurai 1, featuring Rodtang, Takeru and other athletes.
The press conference is scheduled for Monday, March 30, 2026, at 2pm Thailand time, and will be broadcast live exclusively on ONE Championship’s YouTube channel.
This is a historic fight that fans will not want to miss, as it will decide whether Rodtang can defeat Takeru once again or whether the Japanese star can gain revenge and capture the title on home soil. More updates are available on ONEFC.com and across all ONE Championship Thailand social media channels.
