ONE 173 to be held in Tokyo with promising unification bout

According to Bolasport.com, ONE Championship has scheduled ONE 173 to be held at Ariake Arena, Tokyo on November 16, 2025 — an event predicted to be one of the most significant shows this year.

While the official fight card hasn’t been announced, this large-scale event in the Japanese market will consider several strategic aspects — ranging from global star power to the presence of local fighters who can ignite audience enthusiasm.

• International star appeal
• Japanese athlete involvement
• Compelling fighter storylines
• Martial arts discipline diversity

One potential bout that could headline ONE 173 is the featherweight kickboxing title unification between Masaaki Noiri and Superbon. This opportunity emerged after Noiri secured the interim belt through a surprising victory over Tawanchai at ONE 172.
