Yuki Yoza Fights Without Wraps Ahead of ONE Title Shot

Yuki Yoza challenges Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title at ONE Samurai 1, employing an unorthodox strategy of fighting without hand wraps.

Yoza revealed that fighting without hand wraps allowed for greater wrist flexibility and tension-free striking. The decision, born from training habits, has proven effective, translating into elite results.

He noted that wraps restricted his movement, whereas fighting bare-knuckle style felt natural and improved his performance in the ring.
