Fights: Masaaki Noiri vs. Shakir Al-Tekreeti | Masaaki Noiri vs. Tawanchai PK Saenchai Dates: January 24, 2025 | March 23, 2025 Events: ONE 170 | ONE 172: Takeru vs. Rodtang Venues: Impact Arena, Bangkok, Thailand | Saitama Super Arena, Saitama, Japan Bouts: Featherweight Kickboxing Masaaki Noiri arrived on the global stage as a decorated two-division K-1 Champion and one of Japan’s most respected strikers. But after suffering back-to-back decision losses in his first two appearances, the Japanese superstar desperately needed to remind the world what made him so dangerous. Noiri answered in devastating fashion. First, he stopped Shakir Al-Tekreeti with a brutal series of low kicks at ONE 170. Just two months later, he produced one of the biggest kickboxing upsets in recent memory, finishing Tawanchai PK Saenchai in the third round to capture the ONE Interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship. In his first five fights on the global stage, Noiri recorded only two victories — and both came by knockout. When the Japanese star finds his rhythm, he does not wait for the judges. He attacks with precision, power, and the finishing instinct of a true knockout monster. These are the two explosive performances that proved Masaaki Noiri is still one of the most dangerous kickboxers in the world. #MasaakiNoiri #Knockout #Tawanchai #ONEChampionship #CombatSports #JapaneseKickboxing Footage rights provided by WSC Sports - https://tinyurl.com/BoxingExtra
