Updated: 12/11/2025, 1:11:13 PM Wikipedia source
Masaaki Noiri (野杁 正明, Noiri Masaaki; born May 11, 1993) is a Japanese kickboxer, currently competing in the Featherweight Division of ONE Championship, where he is a former interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion. He is a two-weight K-1 champion, having held the K-1 World GP Super Lightweight Championship between 2017 and 2018 and the K-1 World GP Welterweight Championship between 2021 and 2024, as well as a one-time Grand Prix winner, having won the 2021 K-1 World Welterweight Grand Prix. He began practicing karate as a teenager and had great success in both full contact karate and amateur kickboxing in his early teens, which included winning the K-1 Koshien 62 kg (136 lb) schoolboys tournament in 2009, two JKJO titles and a Shin Karate title. After turning professional in 2010, he became a mainstay in the Krush promotion and was victorious in the 2011 Krush Under-22 ~63kg Supernova~ Tournament. Combat Press ranked him as the No. 1 super-featherweight kickboxer in the world between October 2021 and March 2023. He was then removed from the rankings after he moved to the lightweight division. Combat Press also ranked him among the top ten featherweights continuously from September 2014 to January 2021.
