Yoshinari Shut Down Ghazali to Claim a Decision at ONE
Shimon Yoshinari defeated Johan “Jojo” Ghazali by unanimous decision at ONE SAMURAI 1 on April 29, 2026, in Tokyo. The flyweight Muay Thai result gave Yoshinari a clear win over the young Malaysian-American striker.
A difficult matchup for Ghazali
Ghazali arrived at Ariake Arena with a reputation for early finishes and an aggressive style. Yoshinari, fighting in front of a Japanese audience, had the opportunity to test that attack across a full scheduled contest.
The matchup was listed as flyweight Muay Thai, not kickboxing or MMA. The distinction matters because the fighters could use the full range of Muay Thai techniques permitted under ONE’s rules.
Ghazali did not secure a knockout, and the bout went to the judges. ONE’s official results page records Yoshinari as the winner by unanimous decision.
The decision result
The verdict made Yoshinari the winner on all three scorecards. It was a setback for Ghazali, who had been building his profile through a series of knockout victories, but the official result does not describe the fight as a title bout.
The event also featured the atomweight Muay Thai championship contest between Nadaka and Songchainoi. That was a separate matchup, so Yoshinari’s victory over Ghazali should not be conflated with the card’s other title result.
ONE’s event recap is the strongest source for the bout’s participants, discipline and decision. It confirms the result without relying on the embedded highlight clip.
