HEAT & RKS champion

[edit | edit source]

Kaneda made his professional debut against Makoto a.k.a BASTA at RKS Seriken Bousou Taifuu Densetsu vol.1 on March 6, 2016. He won the fight by unanimous decision. He would win three more professional bouts, all by decision, before entering the 2017 K-1 super featherweight Koshien tournament in the -60 kg weight class.[3] He overcame Ryunosuke Nakasuji, Taketo Nukui and Yutaro Shimizu in the first three rounds of the tournament, which all took place on July 29, 2017. These three victories earned him a place in the finals, which took place at K-1 World GP 2017 on November 23, 2017. He captured the tournament title with a unanimous decision win against Tomoya Yokoyama.[4]

As he returned to professional competition, Kaneda faced Ryo Sakoi for the vacant RKS Super Featherweight title at RKS Gold Rush III on December 16, 2018. He won the title by a second-round knockout.[5] Three months later, at HEAT 44 on March 2, 2019, Kaneda took part in the 2019 HEAT Lightweight tournament. He was given a walk-over to the finals, as his semi-final opponent Chao Rogate was disqualified for coming in overweight, and faced Henry Cejas in the finals of the one-day tournament. Kaneda won the title by split decision, after an extra fourth round was contested.[6][7]

Kaneda made his first RSK super featherweight title defense against Chen Yuxi at RKS Gold Rush IV on May 12, 2019. He retained the title by a first-round technical knockout.[8] Kaneda next faced the former Lumpinee Stadium flyweight champion Chao Rocket in a non-title bout at HEAT 45 on July 28, 2019. He won the fight by a second-round technical knockout.[9] Kaneda made his second RSK super featherweight title defense against Chonbon at RKS Gold Rush V on October 20, 2019. He retained the title by unanimous decision.[10]

Kaneda made his first HEAT lightweight title defense against Henry Cejas at HEAT 46 on January 16, 2020. The pair first faced each other at HEAT 44 on March 2, 2019, with Kaneda winning the bout by split decision. He lost the rematch however, as he was floored by a left hook at the 1:00 minute mark of the second round.[11]

Kaneda made his third RKS super featherweight title defense against Yusuke at RKS Gold Rush VI on April 5, 2020.[12] He won the fight by a third-round knockout. Kaneda was booked to make his fourth RKS title defense against Kaito Sakaguchi at RKS GOLD RUSH VII on November 29, 2020.

Kaneda was booked to make his Krush debut against Ryuto at Krush 133 on January 28, 2022. He had trouble making weight at the official weigh-ins, as he came in 500 g over the featherweight (-57.5 kg) limit, but was able to weigh in below the limit at the second weigh-in.[21] Kaneda won the fight by unanimous decision, with two scorecards of 30–28 and one scorecard of 30–27.[22]

Kaneda faced Yuta Hayashi at Krush.138 on June 17, 2022. He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 30–29, 30–28 and 30–27.[23] Kaneda would then briefly return to RKS, in order to face Fuya Hirai for the vacant RKS Featherweight title at RKS GOLD RUSH VII on September 4, 2022. He needed just 46 seconds to stop Hirai and capture the vacant championship.[24]
