Thananchai Charunphak hunkers down in legendary gym in preparation for Seigo Yuri Akui in Japan

Coming off a career-defining victory in Japan this past August, where he handed Kento Hatanaka (15-1, 10 KO) his first professional loss, Thailand’s Thananchai Charunphak (25-1, 15 KO) is set to return to the Land of the Rising Sun. This time, the stakes are even higher as he challenges Seigo Yuri Akui (20-2-1, 11 KO) for the WBA flyweight world title.

The bout, scheduled for October 13, 2024, at the Ariake Arena in Koto-Ku, will be a chance for Charunphak to cement his place among the division’s elite.
