Former K-1 lightweight champion Yuki Yoza has finally entered free agency after a lengthy contract dispute with K-1 in which Yoza wasn’t hearing back from the promotion, and the event went as far as returning the Lightweight title to the promotion’s offices himself, and he said to kickboxing news outlet, Beyond Kickboxing.
“Since last November, I haven’t recieved any fight offers at all. Even when i contacted them about relinquishing the belt, I got no response, so I went directly to the K-1 office and i returned the belt myself.“
However, as if today, Yuki Yoza is now officially a free agent, as the Karate kickboxing phenom would go on to let his fans know on social media and K-1 itself would release a statement regarding his departure.
