Hiromi Wajima had his second professional career loss with a unanimous decision loss to Jordann Pikeur.[7][8] He suffered his first knockout loss at the hands of Minoru Kimura, losing after only two minutes.[9]

He snapped his losing streak at Krush 108, where Wajima won a unanimous decision against Daisuke Fujimura.[10]

Wajima participated in the 2020 Super Welterweight Grand Prix. In the quarter final bout he faced Avatar Tor Morsim whom he defeated early in the third round with a leg kick knockout. In the semifinals he won a unanimous decision against Yasuhiro Kido. In the grand prix finals he fought a rematch with Minoru Kimura. He would fail to capture the super welterweight title, losing to Kimura for the second time in his career.[11][12][13]

Wajima fought Raseasing Weerasakreck during K-1 World GP 2020 in Osaka. He won the fight by a second round KO.[14] He was scheduled to fight Yuhei Fujioka during K-1 World GP 2020 in Tokyo,[15] and won by a second round head kick.[16]

K-1 super welterweight champion

Wajima challenged Minoru Kimura for the K-1 Super Welterweight title at K-1 World GP 2021 in Osaka on December 4, 2021. They previously fought on March 22, 2020, with Kimura winning by a first-round technical knockout.[19] Wajima was more successful in the rematch, winning the fight by a third-round knockout. He began to take over the fight from the beginning of the second round onward, with most of his success coming from body strikes, and finally stopped Kimura with a body kick which left him unable to beat the eight count.[20]

Wajima is scheduled to face the former RISE welterweight champion BeyNoah at The Match 2022 on June 19, 2022.[21] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 30–24 in his favor, as he managed to knock BeyNoah down in every round of the fight.[22]
