=K-1 Super Lightweight champion=
==The Kaew duology==
His three-fight winning streak with the promotion earned Anpo the chance to challenge the reigning K-1 Super Lightweight champion Kaew Fairtex at K-1 World GP 2019: Super Bantamweight World Tournament on June 30, 2019. In preparation for the title fight, Anpo added former boxing world titlists Hozumi Hasegawa and Tomoki Kameda to his fight camp, as well as conditioning coach Masayoshi Hideshima.{{cite web |title=K-1 6.30 両国国技館:安保瑠輝也「本当に強いゲーオを倒してこそ真のチャンピオン」「僕が不可思選手を引き寄せたのかな」「階級を超えて木村ミノル選手とやりたい」 |url=https://www.boutreview.com/3/news/item_24672.html |website=boutreview.com |date=June 2019 |access-date=15 July 2021}} Anpo had trouble making weight for the bout, missing by 150 g on his first weigh-in, but making weight after removing his shorts.{{cite web |title=【K-1】王者ゲーオ、タイ修行を経て挑む安保瑠輝也に「私が戦いやすくなるだけ」 |url=https://efight.jp/news-20190629_341014 |website=efight.jp |date=29 June 2019 |access-date=15 July 2021}}
The fight was ruled a majority draw after the first three rounds were fought, with one judge scoring the bout 30–29 for Kaew, while the remaining two judges scored the fight as a draw.

==Anpo vs. Yamazaki==
Anpo was scheduled to make his third title defense against Hideaki Yamazaki at K-1 World GP 2020 in Osaka on September 22, 2020. The fight was a rematch of their December 8, 2018, "Fight of the Year" meeting, which Anpo won by technical knockout. He was dismissive of Yamazaki during his pre-fight interviews, saying "Yamazaki is a fighter who has declined or stagnated since two years ago", and describing Yamazaki as a "stepping stone".{{cite web |title=【K-1】激闘予告の安保瑠輝也、山崎秀晃に「勝てるのは当たり前。次に進むための踏み台」 |url=https://gonkaku.jp/articles/4717 |website=gonkaku.jp |access-date=15 July 2021}} Anpo was able to successfully make weight for the bout on the first attempt, coming in 200 g under the weight limit.{{cite web |title=【K-1】王者・安保瑠輝也「分かりやすいKO決着を」山崎秀晃「やってきたこと全て出す」=前日計量 |url=https://efight.jp/news-20200921_467790 |website=efight.jp |date=21 September 2020 |access-date=15 July 2021}}
Yamazaki won the fight by a dominant first-round knockout. He opened the fight with a series of hooks which forced Anpo to shell up behind a high guard.

Anpo faced the highly accomplished veteran Masaaki Noiri in the tournament finals, who earned his place in the final match with stoppage victories against FUMIYA and Ali Ayinta.
