The Japanese superstar proved all the hype surrounding him is well-warranted after a stellar promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 109 last May, where he dominated Elbrus Osmanov.

After showcasing his immense striking repertoire on the global stage, Yoza is expected to become a major player in the bantamweight kickboxing ranks.

Superbon, of course, fights a weight class above Yoza but is not ruling out a potential showdown with him if the stars align.

Superbon shared on Muaythai around the world by Yai Lamnarai's YouTube channel:

"My tactic to fight this style, I think using push kicks is an easy way to deal with it. Another thing about him is that he doesn't wrap his hands when he fights."

Both Superbon and Yoza possess an elite-level kicking repertoire, and it would be interesting to see which style would remain supreme. The 155-pound kickboxing king is well-known for his graceful head kicks, which are thrown with little to no wind-up.

Yoza, on the other hand, throws ballistic leg and body kicks with an incredible mix of speed and power.
