Kickboxing career

Saikyo made his professional debut in April 2017, against Hiroki Kokubo. He won the fight by a first round knockout.[2] He won his next fight against Takuma Kawaguchi by unanimous decision.[3] Yuma was next scheduled to fight Yuya during Krush 85.[4] He won the bout by unanimous decision.[5]

Saikyo was then scheduled to fight the future Krush Super Featherweight champion Leona Pettas during Krush 87.[6] Pettas won the fight by unanimous decision.[7]

Following this loss, Saikyo was scheduled to fight Takumi Yokoyama,[8] whom he defeated by an extra round split decision.[9] He was more convincing in his next fight, defeating Ali Zarinfar after just 38 second by a left hook KO.[10]

Saikyo was then given a chance to fight Kotaro Shimano for the Krush Super Featherweight title. He beat Shimano by unanimous decision and became the Krush champion at just 18 years of age.[11]

For his first title defense, Saikyo was scheduled to fight a rematch with Leona Pettas. Pettas once again won the fight by decision.[12]

Saikyo's next fight came a year later, during Krush 117, when he was scheduled to fight Tomoya Yokoyama.[13] Saikyo lost the fight by unanimous decision, going on a losing skid for the first time in his career.[14]

Saikyo was scheduled to fight Yuto Shinohara at K'Festa 4.[15] The event was later rescheduled for March 31, 2021.[16] He won the fight by split decision.[17]

Saikyo was scheduled to face Tatsuki at K-1 World GP 2021 in Fukuoka on July 17, 2021. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[18]
