  "account": "Four skilled kickboxers from Team Vasileus showcased their talents at an open workout in Tokyo, Japan, ahead of the ONE SAMURAI 4 event. Former ONE Interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Masaaki Noiri, two-division RISE Champion Toki Tamaru, former K-1 Champions Yuki Yoza and Shintaro Matsukura demonstrated their striking abilities in preparation for the highly anticipated showdown on October 17. Noiri, with a 52-14 record and one stoppage win, aims to secure a victory in the ONE SAMURAI Featherweight Kickboxing Tournament semifinals and potentially face off against Mohammad Siasarani for the undisputed crown. Yoza, known for his powerful calf kicks, seeks a return to the world title after losing to Jonathan Haggerty in April. The 28-year-old Japanese fighter bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Ben Woolliss. Matsukura, stepping into the ring for his promotional debut at the age of 34, enters the lightweight kickboxing match against Sinsamut Klinmee with 38 career wins and hopes to claim a spot on the route to the kickboxing belt of reigning king Regian Eersel.",
