Kickboxing career

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Tanaka began training Gōjū-ryū karate at the age of five. After he entered junior high school, Tanaka went to his current gym, Paraestra Koiwa, with the intention of becoming a mixed martial artist. However, after taking a kickboxing class on his first day at the gym, Tanaka decided to become a professional kickboxer.[1]

RISE

[edit]

[edit]

Tanaka made his professional debut against Shinji Totsu at RISE ZERO on June 7, 2015. He debut in the super featherweight (-60 kg) division of RISE, participating in the RISE Super Featherweight Rookies Cup. Tanaka won the opening round of the tournament by beating Totsu by unanimous decision, with scores of 30–27, 30–28 and 30–28.[5]

Tanaka was scheduled to face Tomo Janjira in the tournament quarterfinals, held at RISE ZERO on August 9, 2015. He won the fight by a second-round knockout.[6]

In the tournament final, Tanaka faced Yuya Fujita at Rise 110 on March 26, 2016. Tanaka won the fight by unanimous decision. Prior to this fight, Tanaka changed his ring name from "Naoki Tanaka" to "Naoki".[8]

The other semifinal pairing consisted of the #1 ranked Shohei Asahara and the #2 ranked Ikki.[12]

Tanaka made quick work of his semifinal opponent, needing only 58 seconds to knock Kawashima with a head kick.[13] Tanaka faced Shohei Asahara in the tournament finals, held at Rise 118 on July 17, 2017. Following a relatively even first round, Asahara knocked Tanaka out with a devastating left hook six seconds into the second round. Tanaka was unable to make a quick recovery inside of the ring, and had to be stretchered out.[14]

Six–fight winning streak

[edit]

Tanaka was scheduled to fight Tomohiro Kitai in the co-main event of Rise 122 on February 4, 2018. It was the first co-main event appearance of Tanaka's career.[15] The fight was ruled a majority draw after the first three rounds were fought, with two judges scoring the bout an even 30–30, while the third judges scored it 30–29 for Kitai.

[edit]

Qualification tournament

[edit]

He knocked Kitai down twice in the second round, which resulted in an automatic technical knockout victory, due to the rules of the tournament.[28]

Dead or Alive tournament

[edit]

Tanaka was scheduled to face the former Rise lightweight champion Taiju Shiratori in the semifinals of the RISE DEAD OR ALIVE 2020 tournament, held on October 11, 2020. Kento Haraguchi and Renta Nishioka contested the second semifinal bout.[29] Tanaka won the fight by a first-round technical knockout. At the halfway point of the round, Tanaka landed a knee to the head of Shiratori which opened up a cut, prompting the referee to call in the ringside doctor. The doctor decided to stop the bout, deeming Shiratori unable to continue fighting.[30]

Tanaka advanced to the finals, where he faced the reigning Rise lightweight champion Kento Haraguchi. Haraguchi began pressuring Tanaka as soon as the fight started, and managed to knock him down midway through the round. Although Tanaka was able to beat the eight-count, he was unsteady on his feet which prompted the referee to stop the fight.[31]

RISE Lightweight champion

[edit]

The fight was announced on the same day that the previous titleholder Kento Haraguchi vacated the belt.

The fight was a rematch of their October 11, 2020 meeting in the semifinals of the 2020 Rise Dead or Alive tournament, which Tanaka won by a first-round technical knockout.[34] Tanaka won the fight by unanimous decision, after an extra round was fought. Despite a slow start to the fight, Tanaka became more and more active as the bout went on and managed to fight Shiratori to a draw after the first three rounds. He convincingly won the extra round, with Shiratori being unable to mount any sustained offense.[35]

Tanaka was scheduled to face the former Rajadamnern Stadium and WBC Muaythai lightweight champion Jaroenchai Liongym in a non-title bout at RISE 153 on December 12, 2021. Tanaka saw this as a showcase fight, saying before the fight: "I want to overwhelm a former world-class fighter and show that I can fight fighters who are currently world class".[36] He won the fight by a third-round technical knockout. Tanaka first knocked Jaroenchai down with a check left hook as the latter was pressing forwards, before forcing the referee to wave the fight off with a flurry of unanswered punches.[37]

Tanaka vacated the Suk Wan Kingthong super lightweight title on March 17, 2022, as he was unable to make a title defense in the mandated time.[38]

Tanaka was booked to face the RISE Super Lightweight champion Kosei Yamada at RISE El Dorado 2022 on April 2, 2022, in a super lightweight non-title bout.[39] He lost the fight by third round knockout after scoring a knockdown in the previous round.[40]
