Former K-1 world champion Takeru posted a photo on social media on the 29th. He exposed his left leg, which was completely discolored from internal bleeding.

He challenged the flyweight title at the martial arts event "ONE" held on the 28th, and lost a 0-3 decision to champion Superlek Kiatmo (Thailand) after a fierce battle.

From the first round, he continued to receive strong low kicks from the champion Super Rec. The damage was severe after the match, and he wrote on his Instagram story, ``After the match, I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and couldn't walk by myself.''

Furthermore, in a regular post, he wrote, ``Super Rec athlete was really strong. I tore a muscle in my thigh, and now I can't walk or think about anything, but I'm going to stay positive and live my life. I'll take a little break, come up with an answer within myself, and report back. I'm going to give it to you.'', he wrote, revealing that his leg from the groin to below the knee was swollen and he was bleeding internally.

Followers said things like, ``The courage you had to fight until you got to this point...It was cool...Please heal slowly'' and ``I was really moved.It's cool even if you lose.'' Talent So Takei said, ``It's tough, but I'm really grateful that Takeru 's battles give me something more exciting than winning or losing. Thank you for your hard work, and rest well.''
