Japanese Muay Thai sensation Shimon Yoshinari maintained his unbeaten streak in ONE Championship after securing a unanimous decision victory over Malaysia’s Muhammad “Jojo” Johan Ghazali at ONE Samurai 1. The high-stakes bout, held at the Ariake Arena, culminated in Yoshinari earning a prestigious six-figure USD contract for his dominant performance.

The match began with high intensity as both fighters traded strikes in a balanced opening round. Johan Ghazali found his rhythm in the second round, landing a precise punch to Yoshinari’s face that sent the Japanese fighter to the canvas.

However, the momentum shifted dramatically in the third and final round. As the fight turned into a “bloody banger,” Yoshinari utilized his superior height and reach to regain control. He consistently pressured Ghazali with high kicks, forcing the Malaysian teenager to fight defensively and struggle to find his range.

Following the intense three-round battle, the judges awarded the victory to Shimon Yoshinari via unanimous decision despite Johan Ghazali’s resilience and the knockdown he scored early in the fight. With this win, Yoshinari remains unbeaten with a total of five victories in ONE Championship and secures a life-changing six-figure USD contract. Conversely, Johan Ghazali now records his fourth loss against eight wins within the organization.

This victory solidifies Yoshinari’s position as a rising star in the flyweight division, while the 19-year-old Ghazali will look to regroup after a valiant effort in enemy territory.
