Announced bouts (as of 2 September 2026)
KNOCK OUT announces its cards in stages. What follows is everything we could verify as of 2 September. Bout order is reported inconsistently across sources, so we have deliberately not numbered the fights.

A Japan vs Kun Khmer team match featuring Leona Pettas has also been announced, but we have not found a source that fixes the individual pairings and running order, so it is not listed as separate bouts above. Names left in Japanese are ones for which no standard romanisation has been published — we would rather print the name as announced than guess.
What to watch
Ryusei goes after a vacant RED title against a career Muay Thai fighter. The main event fills the vacant KNOCK OUT-RED super featherweight championship. RED is contested in open-finger gloves (OFG), a format Ryusei has said suits him because it lets his finishing power carry. Gaeo Ganwan is a decorated Thai fighter — a former Lumpinee-sanctioned champion at the weight — and is reported to be unbeaten against Japanese opposition. The question is whether OFG power can find a way through Muay Thai polish.
The co-main is an all-import fight. Gonnapar Weerasakreck vs Chad Collins pits a Thai fighter long established on Japanese cards against the RISE world super lightweight champion from Australia. A domestic event whose main and co-main are headlined by non-Japanese fighters is exactly what the “KNOCKIN' on the WORLD” subtitle is advertising.
Sitthichai gets a challenger from two divisions down. After the originally scheduled opponent fell out, 久井大夢 accepted the bout on short notice. Sitthichai has beaten Masaaki Noiri among many others, and the weight gap makes this a matchup that would not normally be made. Taking it is the story.
