Sinsamut Vs. Nauzet Trujillo And Masaaki Noiri Vs. Shakir Al-Tekreeti Confirmed For ONE 170
ONE 170 on January 24 is rapidly approaching, and the card just got even better with the addition of two all-striking bouts.
Live in Asia primetime, former ONE World Title challenger Sinsamut Klinmee will go toe-to-toe with powerful Spaniard Nauzet Trujillo in a lightweight Muay Thai contest. Also, decorated Japanese star Masaaki Noiri will take on Iraq’s Shakir Al-Tekreeti in a featherweight kickboxing showdown.
Sinsamut is one of Thailand’s favorite combat sports athletes, renowned for his show-stopping power.
After scoring a pair of highlight-reel knockouts against elite foes to begin his ONE tenure, “Aquaman” suffered back-to-back World Title losses to current lightweight Muay Thai king Regian Eersel.
Since then, the Thai has struggled to find his footing, going 2-2 across his last four appearances in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
Sinsamut’s dangerous boxing game and ruthless finishing abilities should make for an electrifying stylistic clash against Trujillo’s endless gas tank and relentless pacing.
After making a name for himself on the tough European Muay Thai circuit, Trujillo made his ONE debut in 2023, dropping a hard-fought decision to talented Thai veteran Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong but showcasing his fearless approach and explosive combination striking in the process.
The 34-year-old would then bounce back to the win column in impressive fashion with a dominant and entertaining decision victory over British star Liam Nolan at ONE Fight Night 19.
Trujillo is hungry to keep his momentum going and score his first finish under ONE’s bright lights, but Sinsamut, with his mountain of world-class experience and the Bangkok crowd behind him, will represent his toughest test yet.
Simply put, fans should look forward to a Muay Thai firefight on January 24.
Lower on the card, former two-division K-1 Champion Noiri will look to back up the massive hype surrounding him and pick up his first win in ONE when he takes on Al-Tekreeti.
A venomous and speedy striker known for his clean technique and solid finishing abilities, the Japanese sensation came up just short in his first two appearances in ONE, dropping decisions against Thai legend Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong and Chinese phenom Liu Mengyang.
Noiri has all the skills needed to become a ONE Kickboxing World Champion, but he’ll have to right the ship when he squares off with Al-Tekreeti.
For his part, the 28-year-old Baghdad native is one of the Middle East’s most talented strikers and has gone 1-1 across his last two fights in ONE.
Fans can expect to see Al-Tekreeti employ his dangerous long-range weaponry and underrated clinch game against Noiri as he looks to establish himself as a legitimate contender in the featherweight kickboxing division.
