Interview: “Black Panther” BeyNoah Talks RISE 140 Fight, COVID-19, & MMA

In Japanese kickboxing, you don’t see a lot of theatrics from the fighters. One of the notable exceptions is “Black Panther” BeyNoah (15-2, 8 KO). The 24-year-old kickboxer has earned a reputation for his dance-filled entrances and charismatic personality. He is also a top-level kickboxer with fast striking and great stamina to go the distance if necessary.

BeyNoah, who is the RISE welterweight 67.5 kg champion will take on Tsukuru Midorikawa in the co-main event this Sunday at RISE 140 in a non-title match. Midorikawa has been a superwelterweight champion in RIKIX/WKBA and a New Japan Kickboxing Association Welterweight Champion.
