Krush super featherweight champion

Pettas vs. Takeru
editPettas was finally booked to face the K-1 super featherweight champion Takeru Segawa at K-1 World GP 2020 in Fukuoka on November 3, 2020. Due to his stature, particular skilleset and good run of form, Pettas was considered as one of the toughest challenges in Takeru's career up to that point.[50][51] At the time of the fight's scheduling, Takeru was ranked as the best fighter under 60 kg.[52] On October 9, 2020, it was revealed that Takeru had withdrawn from the bout after he had suffered a fracture in his left hand during training, and which would require surgery.[53] The fight was rescheduled for K-1: K’Festa 4 on January 24, 2021, but was once again postponed on January 7 as the Japanese government declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[54] The fight was once again rescheduled for K'Festa 4 Day 2, which took place on March 28, 2021.[55]

He scored the sole knockdown of the fight in the first round, dropping Maki with a right straight.[59][60]
Pettas next faced Kan Nakamura at The Match 2022 on June 19, 2022.[61] He was surprised with the booking, stating: "Personally I thought I might fight Shiratori...When they gave me Nakamura, I watched his fights and he looked good, but his opponents were weak".[62] Despite coming in as the favorite, he lost the fight by an upset majority decision. Two of the judges scored the bout 30–29 for Nakamura, while the third judge scored it as an even 30–30 draw.[63]
K-1 Super Featherweight World Grand Prix

Pettas was able to rebound in the following round however, and knocked Segiri out with his own left hook at the 1:01 minute mark.[65] Pettas faced Tatsuya Oiwa in the penultimate bout of the one-day tournament, an opponent he had previously faced and beaten in his second Krush Super Featherweight title defense on June 28, 2020.
