Tenshin Nasukawa (Japanese: 那須川 天心, Nasukawa Tenshin, born August 18, 1998) is a Japanese professional boxer, former professional kickboxer and mixed martial artist. A generational talent, Nasukawa was regarded as a pound for pound talent throughout most of his career as a professional kickboxer and is regarded as one of the greatest kickboxers in the modern history of the sport.[7][8][9][10] Nasukawa became famous after his knockout victories over former IBF boxing world champion Amnat Ruenroeng in 2017 and Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai champion Wanchalong PK Saenchaigym in 2016.[11][12]

A professional kickboxer between 2012 and 2022, Nasukawa is the former RISE Bantamweight (55 kg) and RISE World Featherweight (57.5 kg) champion.[13][14] He was also the ISKA Unified Rules Featherweight (57 kg) and Oriental Rules Bantamweight (55 kg) champion,[15][16] as well as the 2017 Rizin Flyweight (57 kg) Kickboxing Tournament winner.[17] At the end of his professional kickboxing career, in July 2022, Nasukawa was ranked as the best kickboxer under 58 kg and the best pound for pound kickboxer in the world by Combat Press.[18]

Amateur kickboxing career

[edit]

It is said that he initially started learning Kyokushin Karate at age five as his father who worried about his timidity forced him to enter a karate dojo.[19] He won the Kaminarimon championship in Kyokushin Junior World Championship when he was a fifth grader in elementary school. After that, he became more drawn to kickboxing and began to train it.[20]

"I practiced karate until I was in sixth grade. I was winning competitions at a national level," he told Bleacher Report. "I wanted to participate on that big stage. There was no specific individual that inspired me. I was attracted to the stage."[21]

Nasukawa's kickboxing style is influenced by Boxing, Muay Thai and his Kyokushin Karate background. Nasukawa fights out of the southpaw stance, and is primarily a counter puncher, staying on the outer perimeter of the ring and landing as his opponents try to move in to land strikes. He is well known for his tendency to mix in acrobatic techniques like spinning kicks, rolling kicks, and jumping knees with high precision and success.[2]

"I don't even want to imagine what kind of fighter he will turn out to be in five years," one of Nasukawa's opponents, MMA fighter Yusaku Nakamura said in praise. Nasukawa defeated Nakamura in a kickboxing bout by technical knock out after Nasukawa dropped Nakamura three times. In the fight Nasukawa landed a counter spinning drop kick to Nakamura's face, breaking his nose.[22]

Tenshin amassed an amateur record of 99–5–3 by the age of 15 before he turned professional in kickboxing.[23]

The second knockdown left his opponent sprawled on the canvas and unable to rise, which forced the referee to wave the fight off.

Murakoshi entered the bout riding a nine-fight winning streak, although this was his first title defense.[35] After a relatively even first round, Nasukawa was able to force a standing count with a combination of a left knee and a left hook. He quickly followed this up with a combination of punches which prompted the referee to step in and stop the fight. He became the youngest titlist in RISE history, having captured the title at the age of 16 years and 10 months.[13] This victory earned him the eFight "Fighter of the Month" award for May.[36]

Two of the judges scored the fight 49–45 in his favor, while the third judge awarded him a 48–46 scorecard.

Nasukawa–Takeru rivalry

[edit]

Buildup to the fight

[edit]

Nasukawa has been calling out Three-division K-1 champion Takeru Segawa since June 8, 2015.[121] But due to contractual obligations, both fighters were not able to meet in the ring. At that time, K-1 and Rise were in a "Kickboxing Cold War" since 2010. On August 5, 2015, Takeru told the media that he was interested in fighting Nasukawa if K-1 can organize it. K-1 Japan group producer, Mitsuru Miyata, demanded that Nasukawa sign an exclusive contract with K-1 to be able to make the fight happen.[122] Nasukawa's trainer and RISE president, Takashi Ito, told combat sports magazine Fight & Life, that he will agree to let Nasukawa fight in a K-1 event but he's not willing to give up Nasukawa to an exclusive contract with K-1.[citation needed]

In 2015, K-1 officially made a partnership with the new MMA promotion, Rizin Fighting Federation. Rizin president, Nobuyuki Sakakibara, announced that Rizin is willing to make partnerships with every fighting organization so RISE began to work with Rizin as well. This deal made it more possible for a Nasukawa–Segawa matchup. November 8, 2015, Nasukawa had a knockout victory over French Muay Thai fighter Mike Alamos. After the match in the ring, Nasukawa announced that he wanted to fight in Rizin.[123]

On November 21, 2015, Takeru made his first defense of his K-1 55 kg world title against Charles Bongiovanni, he won the fight by TKO. After the match, during the in-ring interview, Takeru announced his desire to fight in Rizin, 2 weeks after Nasukawa announced the same. When Takeru returned backstage, Nasukawa approached him and demanded the fight.[124] The fight can happen in Rizin even with the Rise and K-1 cold war. During the press conference, Takeru mentioned that he did not recognize Nasukawa and could not understand what he was saying due to the crowd noise and thought he was just a fan. Takeru confirmed that he is willing to accept the fight if offered.[124] After this event, Nasukawa tweeted that Takeru agreed to fight him on New Year's Eve.[125]

On December 8, 2015, Rizin announced a fight between Takeru and Chinese fighter, Yang Ming, for their New Year's Eve event. At the press conference, Rizin president, Sakakibara, acknowledged requests to make a Nasukawa vs. Takeru fight, however, he said there wasn't enough time to promote the fight and promised to try to make it happen in 2016.[126] On June 18, 2017, after Takeru knocked out Buvaisar Paskhaev, K-1 commentator, Masato, expressed his desire to see Takeru fight Nasukawa but the 2 other commentators ignored his comments. 2 days later, K-1's official YouTube channel uploaded the full fight video of Takeru and Paskhaev but a few hours later it was deleted and re-uploaded without Masato's comments.

On August 29, 2017, Rizin executive Nobuhiko Takada said on Twitter, "Two of the biggest superstars of kickboxing, Takeru vs Tenshin Nasukawa should be made right now! If this super-fight will not happen due to the (sic) cold war, it is heinous crime! Let's make this! Make miracle!" A few hours later a K-1 broadcaster trolled Takada on Twitter. A few days later, Takada apologized and promised to never talk about a fighter from another organization and deleted every tweet about Nasukawa vs Takeru.[127]

On December 31, 2017, Nasukawa won Rizin's Kickboxing 57 kg tournament. In an attempt to quash the cold war and influence K-1 and Rise to make the Takeru fight, Nasukawa made sure the show was being broadcast live so Rizin would not be able to cut any of his comments. Post-fight, in the ring, Nasukawa engaged the crowd by asking who they want him to fight next and the crowd screamed Takeru's name.[128]

In February 2018, M-1 Sports Media, which operates K-1, filed a lawsuit against Tenshin, his father Hiroyuki, Rise president Takashi Ito and Rizin president Sakakibara. According to the lawsuit, it all started three years ago when Nasukawa called out Takeru to fight. More recently during Rizin's New Year's Eve event when Nasukawa asked the audience who they want him to fight next. They claim that it's an unfair business practice to involve another fighter's name from a different organization. And, they claim that many people has negative image about Takeru run away from Nasukawa, and they lost 6 sponsors. And, they file a damage suit 137,000,000 yen. But, 1 of 6 sponsors told Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Shincho "Our contract of K-1, we distribute Bento 3 times only. We can't understand why K-1 demands too expensive money".[129]

On March 16, 2018, Rise president Takashi Ito, former K-1 fighter Hiroya and his lawyer, accused K-1 Japan Group's exclusive contract, illegal based on the competition law. Hiroya's lawyer told the media, that the way K-1's contract work makes you not fight for a year for your contract to expire. Every fight you make with the organization, extends your contract for another year from your last fight and the only way to get out of the contract is not get paid for a year. Hiroya cites this as the reason why Segawa could not fight Nasukawa as he knows Segawa as a friend and will not back down to a fight.[130]

Nasukawa vs. Takeru

[edit]

Rizin FF president Nobuyuki Sakakibara announced at a press conference, held on December 24, 2021, that the Takeru fight would be held at a neutral venue some time in June, in collaboration with both K-1 and RISE. Both fighters would have to weigh in at 58 kg at the official weigh-ins and no more than 62 kg at a second weigh-in held on fight day.[131] At the time of the fight's scheduling, Takeru and Nasukawa were considered as the two best kickboxer in the world, after Superbon Banchamek.[132] The official date and venue were announced at a second press conference, held on April 1, 2022. It took place on June 19, 2022, at the Tokyo Dome, marking the return of a kickboxing headlined event to the venue for the first time since 2006.[133] The rules for the bout were announced six days later: it was to be contested across three three-minute rounds, under the RISE ruleset, with one additional round in case of a draw.[134] he entire event was broadcast by Abema TV as a pay per view. It was initially expected that the two-hour portion containing the main event would also be broadcast by Fuji TV,[135] who later backed out after allegations surfaced connecting RIZIN president Sakakibara with the yakuza.[136]

In front of a sold-out audience of 56,399 at the Tokyo Dome, Nasukawa won the long awaited fight by unanimous decision. Nasukawa knocked Takeru down with a left hook counter to his right straight in the very first round of the three-round affair, which proved the pivotal moment, as it edged the fight in his favor on all five of the judges' scorecards. The total scores were total scores of 29–28, 30–28, 30–28, 30–28 and 30–27.[7][137] The event sold around 500,000 PPVs.[138] At the post-fight press conference, Nasukawa confirmed his retirement from the sport of kickboxing and his transition to boxing.[139]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

After his Muay Thai debut on December 5, 2016, Japanese MMA promotion Rizin Fighting Federation offered to make his MMA debut on their December 29 event. Nasukawa accepted the short notice offer, and began to train MMA for the first time. He won his first fight by TKO in the first round.[140] After the fight, he announced his desire to fight in Rizin's New Year's Eve event 2 days later. Rizin president Nobuyuki Sakakibara granted his wish and he won the fight against Dylan Kawika Oligo by guillotine choke in the second round.[141]

In 2017, he was officially signed by Rizin.[142][143]

In 2017, MMA agent Shu Hirata, who manages UFC fighters Francis Ngannou and Takeya Mizugaki, told the media that the UFC offered Nasukawa a $60,000 (salary: $30,000,win bonus: $30,000) contract.[144][145]

In January 2018, Nasukawa told Japanese sports magazine Sports Graphic that he wants kickboxing as his main sport until he becomes 22 or 23 years old, and after that, he would consider a shift in MMA or pro boxing.[citation needed]

On August 15, 2018, Evolve MMA announced that they have sponsored Nasukawa.[146] Founder, Chairman, and CEO of both Evolve MMA and ONE Championship, Chatri Sityodtong, stated that he is interested in signing Nasukawa after his contract expires.[147]

Professional boxing career

[edit]

Initial contract offers

[edit]

International Boxing Hall of Fame and World Boxing Hall of Famer, professional boxing promoter Akihiko Honda of Teiken Promotions Inc., have offered Nasukawa a move to boxing since he was 12 years old.[148]

When Nasukawa was a 14-year-old junior high school student, Teiken Promotions offered Nasukawa a contract including a signing bonus of more than $100,000, but Nasukawa turned down the job due to his love for kickboxing. Teiken Promotions still continues to offer him a boxing contract.[149] One of Teiken Gym trainer Yūichi Kasai, who made 4 world boxing champions such as Takashi Miura and Toshiaki Nishioka became Nasukawa's part-time boxing coach.[150]

Nasukawa wants to fight both kickboxing and boxing. However, the Japan Boxing Commission doesn't permit Japanese professional boxers to fight in other professional combat sports. In September 2018, Nasukawa told AbemaTV, that he wants to fight boxing in other countries and stay as a kickboxer in Japan.[151]

Three-division boxing world champion Naoya Inoue's trainer and promoter, former two-time boxing world champion Hideyuki Ohashi said "Nasukawa can win a boxing world title before his 2nd professional match, and the break world record of Vasyl Lomachenko and Saensak Muangsurin". He is interested in a future bout between Naoya Inoue vs Tenshin Nasukawa in Tokyo Dome.[152]

Nasukawa was offered to fight at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He showed interest in fighting at the Olympics, but he doesn't want to fight his friend and former teammate at Team Teppen, AIBA Youth 2016 World Champion, Hayato Tsutsumi.[149]

Early career

[edit]

Nasukawa vs. Yonaha

[edit]

Nasukawa undertook his professional boxing license examination on February 9, 2023.[153] Contrary to usual practice, Nasukawa was the only person to be tested that day, with nearly a hundred spectators gathering in the venue. Nasukawa passed after he successfully made the featherweight limit of 58 kilograms, scored 97 out of a possible 100 points on the written test, satisfied the physical examination and went through a three round sparring session with the future Japanese bantamweight title challenger Jin Minamide.[154]

After acquiring the B-class boxing license from the Japanese Boxing Commission, which allowed him to compete in six round bouts, Nasukawa was booked to make his professional boxing debut against Yuki Yonaha, who was at the time ranked as the fourth-best bantamweight by the aforementioned JBC. The six round bout was booked for the undercard of an Amazon Prime broadcast card, which took place at the Ariake Arena in Ariake, Tokyo on April 8, 2023.[155][156] He won the fight by unanimous decision. Two of the ringside officials awarded Nasukawa every round of the bout, while judge Biney Martin scored the fight 59–54 in his favor. Nasukawa scored the sole knockdown of the fight in the second round, when he was able to knock his opponent down with a counter right hook.[157]

Nasukawa vs. Guzman

[edit]

Nasukawa made his second boxing appearance against the undefeated Juan Flores Aceves. The contest took place on the undercard of the unified light-flyweight championship bout between Kenshiro Teraji and Hekkie Budler on September 18, 2023, at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.[158] Aceves was forced to withdraw from the bout on September 2, after contracting COVID-19, and was replaced by Luis Guzman, who stepped in on two-weeks notice.[159] Nasukawa won the fight by unanimous decision, with all three judges awarding him an 80–72 scorecard. He twice knocked his opponent down, once in the second and once in the seventh round.[160] Nasukawa revealed, during a talk show appearance on October 28, that he had suffered a left hand injury in the fourth round of his meeting with Aceves. Although he was initially predicted to recover within a month, Nasukawa's carpal instability diagnosis prolonged his recovery.[161]

Nasukawa vs. Robles

[edit]

Nasukawa faced Luis Robles, the 14th ranked bantamweight according to the WBA, on January 23, 2024, at the Edion Arena Osaka in Osaka, Japan, which took place in the undercard of Teraji-Cañizales for WBA-WBC light flyweight title.[162] He won the bout via TKO after the third round, as Robles could not answer the bell due to an ankle injury.[163]

Nasukawa vs. Rodriguez

[edit]

Nasukawa is scheduled to face Jonathan "Torres" Rodriguez in a 10-round bantamweight bout at Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan on July 20, 2024.[164]

Exhibition bouts

[edit]

Nasukawa vs. Mayweather

[edit]

On November 5, 2018, it was announced that Nasukawa was expected to face the undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. at Rizin 14 on December 31, 2018. The supposed rules for this bout were not determined.[165] However, on November 7, Mayweather stated that the fight had been announced in error due to a misunderstanding (claiming that he had never even heard of Nasukawa until the press conference) and that he had been booked for an exhibition fight for "a small group of wealthy spectators" that was not meant to be televised.[166][167] On November 16, 2018, Mayweather announced that the fight is back on. It was to be a 3-round exhibition boxing match.[168][169] "There was a penalty clause in the contract of an undisclosed amount if he is to use any moves of an MMA nature."[170] In other words, if Tenshin had the urge to throw a kick, he would be heavily fined. Nasukawa landed the first punch of the fight, but Mayweather Jr retaliated with a left hook behind Nasukawa's ear that immediately sent him to the canvas.[171] "This blew my mind. He hit me behind the ear. I was surprised. Right on the button." Nasukawa later said. Within 140 seconds of the one-sided fight, Nasukawa was knocked down 3 times in the first round and his corner subsequently threw in the towel.[172][173]

Nasukawa vs. Gomi

[edit]

Nasukawa faced Takanori Gomi in a two-round exhibition boxing match at Rizin 33 - Saitama on December 31, 2021.[174] The bout ended in a no decision due to time expiring with no stoppage.[175]

Fighting style

[edit]

Nasukawa is a southpaw and his style is a combination of kickboxing and full contact karate, both of which he has learned and competed at a very young age. Nasukawa is primarily a counter puncher, staying on the outer perimeter of the ring and landing as his opponents try to move in to land strikes. He is well known for his tendency to mix in seemingly flashy techniques like spinning kicks, rolling kicks, and jumping knees with high precision and success.[2]
