“I want to show the world” - Yuki Yoza says he will be the one to beat Superlek at ONE 173

Former K-1 Champion Yuki Yoza of Japan believes he possesses all the right tools to defeat the fearsome Superlek Kiatmoo9 in an all-striking war.

The pair of world-class strikers will duke it out at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri in the blockbuster card taking place on Nov. 16 at Tokyo's Ariake Arena.

Yoza has impressed thus far with his 12-fight winning streak and back-to-back wins over Elbrus Osmanov and former bantamweight kickboxing world champion Petchtanong Petchfergus.
