Share on FacebookONE Championship has officially filed lawsuits against Rodtang in Singapore, Japan, and Thailand, accusing the Muay Thai star of repeatedly violating the terms of his contract. The organization also alleges that some of his recent public remarks were potentially defamatory and says it is seeking damages through legal action in multiple countries.
The Thai superstar has openly expressed frustration in recent months over the terms of his ONE contract and his deteriorating relationship with the promotion.
“ONE would like to issue a clear and transparent statement to our fans, athletes, and partners,” the promotion said. “At this time, we have initiated legal proceedings in Singapore, Japan, and Thailand against Rodtang due to multiple breaches of his contractual obligations with ONE.”
“In the past, we have made continuous and sincere efforts to work with Rodtang in good faith. However, after his contractual obligations were repeatedly disregarded, it became necessary for us to take appropriate and decisive action.”
The announcement comes just weeks before Rodtang’s scheduled title fight against Takeru at ONE Samurai 1 in Tokyo, Japan.
Rodtang later responded on social media, saying he signed the contract in 2022 but did not receive a copy until November 2025. He also said he cannot read English.
“I signed the contract in 2022. I asked to see the contract and only received it in November 2025. On top of that, I can’t even read English, and now they’re going to sue me. Sigh… my life—why do I have to go through something like this? Does fairness really still exist? And they said we were like brothers,” he wrote.
