Decorated Japanese Kickboxing Superstar Yuki Yoza Joins ONE Championship
It’s no secret that ONE Championship is home to the planet’s best strikers, and the organization has now added another decorated superstar to its roster.
Former K-1 Champion Yuki Yoza is officially bringing his talents to ONE’s star-studded bantamweight kickboxing and Muay Thai divisions – and fans around the world have reason to be excited.
The hard-hitting 27-year-old boasts a wealth of elite-level experience, having amassed an impressive 19-2 professional record while competing against the best opposition available on Japan’s ultra-tough kickboxing circuit.
Like countless other Japanese fighters, Yoza’s first martial art was karate, and he racked up numerous amateur titles before making the switch to the professional ranks in 2019.
Training alongside globally recognized ONE superstars Takeru “The Natural Born Crusher” Segawa and current ONE Interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Masaaki Noiri, he has firmly established himself among Japan’s top strikers.
Notably, the ONE newcomer is riding a 10-fight winning streak that most recently featured a stoppage victory over former ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Petchdam Petchyindee.
Beyond his accomplishments and accolades, Yoza brings a crowd-pleasing style of striking that fans won’t want to miss.
Like his teammates at the renowned Vasileus Gym, he is a fearlessly aggressive fighter who will happily go blow-for-blow with any man on the planet if it means he can score the knockout.
Yoza has no shortage of intriguing potential opponents ahead of him, including former ONE World Champions Petchtanong Petchfergus and Ilias Ennahachi, a dangerous contender like “Demon Blade” Wei Rui, or even a possible firefight against beloved Brazilian brawler John “Hands of Stone” Lineker.
