Kickboxing career

After going 2-1 in his first three fights, Saikyo went on an eight fight winning streak, most notably defeating Yoshiki Takei and Taio Asahisa. His winning streak earned him the chance to challenge Kaito Ozawa for the Krush Featherweight title during Krush 81. He won the title by unanimous decision.[2] He lost his next fight against Tatsuya Tsubakihara by majority decision,[3] before successfully defending his Krush title with an extra round split decision against Yuta Murakoshi.[4]

Haruma took part in the 2018 Featherweigh Grand Prix. In the quarter final, he won a close split decision against Hirotaka Asahisa. In the semifinal, he won a unanimous decision against Ryusei Ashizawa. He fought a rematch with Yuta Murakoshi in the tournament final, but lost by TKO due to leg injury.[5]

Following this loss, Saikyo attempted to defend his Krush title for the second time during Krush 97, when he was scheduled to fight Yuki Egawa.[6] Egawa won the fight by majority decision.[7]

Saikyo achieved his first, and only, win of 2019 through a knockout of Jorge Varela in June 2019.[8]

Saikyo participated in the K-1 Featherweight Grand Prix during the K-1 World GP 2019 Yokohamatsuri event. He fought Arthur Meyer in the quarter final, and lost by TKO, after breaking his shin during the first round.[9]
