Yuki Yoza, a former K-1 Champion, is preparing to challenge Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title at ONE SAMURAI 1 on April 29 inside the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. With an impressive record of 22-2 and a winning streak of 13 fights, Yoza has proven himself against elite opponents, including a recent victory over reigning ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Superlek. Yoza emphasizes that his journey has been shaped by facing tough competition, stating that his last three fights were at a main-event level. He attributes his success to his background in Kyokushin Karate, which instills discipline and composure. Yoza views Haggerty as the standard in the division and believes he has identified openings in Haggerty's fighting style that others have missed. He aims for a knockout victory, stating, “I’m better than him in every aspect,” and expresses confidence in his ability to win the title.
