Kickboxing career

Gonnapar made his kickboxing debut against Hideaki Yamazaki in September 2016, a fight which he won by unanimous decision. Before that, he fought in muay thai, winning the WMPF World Super Lightweight title and successfully defending it twice.[3][4]

In June 2017, Gonnapar fought Wei Rui for the K-1 Lightweight title. Rui won the fight by majority decision.[6] [7]

Gonnapar rebounded from this loss with a three fight winning streak, defeating Pan Ryunson by unanimous decision, Kenta Hayashi by a first round knockout and Katsuki Ishida by a second round knockout. This streak earned him the chance to fight Daizo Sasaki for the Krush Lightweight title at Krush 87. Gonnapar won the fight by unanimous decision.[8] He defended the title thrice, winning a unanimous decision against Fumiya Osawa at Krush 93,[9] Takumi Yokoyama by majority decision at Krush 110,[10] and Yuto Shinohara by unanimous decision at Krush 113.[11] On March 1, 2021, Gonnapar vacated his Krush title in order to focus on his K-1 title.[12]

In his first title defense, Gonnapar is expected to face Taio Asahisa at K-1 World Grand Prix 2021.[15] He lost the fight by an extra round split decision.[16]
