Kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa will once again be a part of RIZIN’s year-end festivities.
The promotion announced late Tuesday evening that Nasukawa will face Rui Ebata in a 56-kilogram (approx. 123 pounds) kickboxing bout at RIZIN 20 on Dec. 31 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
A 62-kilogram (approx. 137 pounds) kickboxing bout between Taiju Shiratori and Taiga has also been added to the card.
Nasukawa, 21, is unbeaten in kickboxing (35-0) and MMA (4-0) and is one of Japan’s most popular combat sports stars. Last December, he faced boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in a three-round exhibition boxing match that ended in the first when the five-division champion overwhelmed Nasukawa en route to a corner stoppage.
