Boxing career

edit

Early career

edit

On December 12, 2020, at the K-1 World GP 2020 Winter's Crucial Bout event Takei relinquished his K-1 title and announced his transition to boxing. He accordingly joined the Ohashi gym where he would be trained by the recently retired Akira Yaegashi.[52][53]

For his boxing debut, Takei was scheduled to fight Kazunori Takai on March 11, 2021.[54] He won the fight by TKO in the first round, forcing Takai's corner to throw in the towel after the second knockdown.[55] Takei was booked to face the up-and-coming prospect Azusa Takeda on September 9, 2021, in the Korakuen Hall.[56] He won the fight by knockout in the first round.[57]

OPBF super bantamweight champion

edit

Takei vs. Apolinar

edit

His four fight undefeated streak earned Takei the chance to face the reigning OPBF super bantamweight champion Pete Apolinar, in the latter's first title defense. The bout headlined an Abema and Hikari TV broadcast card, which took place at the Korakuen Hall on August 26, 2022.[63] In front of an audience of 1,420 people, Takei won the fight by a fifth-round knockout. He had a great start to the fight, as he knocked Apolinar down twice in the second round, with a right hook and left hook respectively, and knocked him down once more with a leaping right hook in the fourth round as well. Takei was leading 40–33 on all three of the judges scorecards after the first four rounds were contested. The fight was stopped at the 2:07 minute mark of the fifth round, as the referee waved the bout off after Apolinar was once again staggered, judging the Filipino fighter to have sustained too much damage.[64][65] This victory earned Takei the "Fighter of the Month" award for the month of August from the East Japan Boxing Association and eFight.[66][67]

Takei vs. Tarimo

edit

Takei made his first OPBF super bantamweight title defense against Bruno Tarimo on December 23, 2022, at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The bout took place on the undercard of the Naoya Inoue and Paul Butler undisputed bantamweight title fight, which was broadcast by PXB domestically in Japan and by ESPN in the United States.[68] Takei beat Tarimo by doctor stoppage due to a cut in the eleventh round after scoring a knockdown in the first round. He was up 40–35 on all three of the judges' scorecards after the first four round rounds were contested and was up 99–90, 99–90 and 100–89 at the time of the stoppage.[69]

Takei vs. Baldonado

edit

Takei was expected to face the Philippine national bantamweight champion Ronnie Baldonado in a non-title bout on May 7, 2023. The eight-round fight was to take place at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, and was supposed to be broadcast by Lemino domestically and ESPN+ in the United States.[70] The bout was rescheduled for July 25, 2023, at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.[71] He won the fight by a third-round knockout. The contest took place at a 54 kilogram catchweight, as Ohashi gym chairman Hideyuki Ohashi recommended Takei drop down to bantamweight, considering his gym-mate Naoya Inoue moved up to super bantamweight, where Takei had previously campaigned.[72] Takei vacated the OPBF super bantamweight title on November 29, 2023.[73]
