At the ONE Samurai 4 event held at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, Jonathan Haggerty and Nat kDa successfully defended their respective titles.

Jonathan Haggerty, the ONE Kickboxing Bantamweight champion from the United Kingdom, retained his belt for the third time by defeating Hiroki Akimoto via TKO in the third round. After a competitive start, Haggerty landed a decisive combination of punches and knees that forced the referee to stop the fight due to Akimoto's injuries. Haggerty earned a 15 million yen bonus for the performance.

In the co-main event, Nat kDa successfully defended his ONE Muay Thai Atomweight title for the second time. He secured a victory against Malaysian challenger Reifan Masdor in the second round after landing a powerful left kick to the chin that left Masdor unable to maintain balance.

Additionally, Masaaki Noiri advanced to the finals of the ONE Samurai Kickboxing Featherweight Tournament after a competitive bout against Mohammad Ziairani. Thai fighters Nabil Anan and Sinthiamt Klintmee also secured victories during the event.
