Career

Watanabe began his career in professional boxing in 2002. On October 13, 2005, he defeated Norihisa Tomimoto by unanimous decision to claim the Japanese Featherweight Championship. He defended the title twice, against Motokazu Abe and Ikuto Kobayashi, before losing it to Koji Umetsu on October 14, 2006. Watanabe retired from the sport in 2007 with a record of 15 wins (8 by knock out) and 3 losses.

On February 23, 2009, he made his kickboxing debut against Daisuke Uematsu at the K-1 World MAX 2009 Japan Tournament, losing via unanimous decision. He returned at the K-1 World MAX 2009 World Championship Tournament Final 8 on July 13 and defeated Atsushi Yamamoto via technical knockout after knocking him down three times in the first round. This would be his first and only victory in K-1 as he went on to lose his next three bouts against Cheon Jae-Hee, Daiki Hata and Kazuyuki Miyata.

He then ventured into mixed martial arts on December 31, 2010 at Dynamite!! 2010, where he was submitted with an armbar by Hideo Tokoro in the third round.
