In his next fight, Ebata fought Boonlai Sitnaigachon for the WKBA Super Bantamweight title. He won it through a second-round KO.[6] He defended it for the first and only time during SNKA TITANS NEOS 17, when he was scheduled to fight Phetnamnen Sor.Panyokit. Rui won the fight in the fourth round, after knocking Phetnamnen with an uppercut.[7]
