According to credible sources, Black Panther has withdrawn from his highly anticipated fight against Takeru at ONE Friday Fights 81, scheduled for September 27. The reason for Black Panther's withdrawal has not been disclosed, but it has left a noticeable gap in the card for the event. Fortunately, a replacement has already been secured and will be announced soon.

A situation not unfamiliar to Takeru, who was initially set to face Rodtang in his ONE Championship debut. However, when Rodtang withdrew due to a wrist injury, Takeru was forced to adjust and instead take on Superlek for the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing Championship.

ONE Championship has not commented on the situation yet.
