Yuki Yoza Fights Without Wraps for World Title Bout

Yuki Yoza will challenge Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title at ONE Samurai 1 on April 29. However, the Japanese star is set to make history by competing without hand wraps, a decision that has defined his recent career.

Yoza explained that he stopped using wraps in K-1 to improve wrist flexibility and reduce tension, finding the freedom essential for his striking. He believes the unconventional approach has directly contributed to his elite performances and upcoming title shot.
