“So much fun seeing what’s coming next” - Johan Estupinan wants more highlight KOs, plans to represent Latin America in ONE
Johan Estupinan is ready to embark on a journey to push his career and reputation to new levels.
The proud son of Colombia is coming off his fourth straight win when he starched Zakaria El Jamari in their flyweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Fight Night 25 this past weekend at Lumpinee Stadium.
The victory pushed Estupinan to a perfect 4-0 record in ONE Championship, 26-0 overall.
In his post-fight interviews, Estupinan promised to push his career to new heights as he aims to represent not just his native Colombia but the entire region of Latin America.
He also predicted that he and his twin brother Jhordan would one day join him in ONE Championship.
Johan Estupinan said:
"Together, we're going to be representing our country and the whole of Latin America, you will have so much fun seeing what's coming next."
Estupinan is one of the fastest-rising stars in ONE Championship, and his four-fight resume in the promotion feels like a long highlight reel.
The 22-year-old debuted at ONE Friday Fights 64 when he knocked out Japanese standout Kouta Omori in the opening round.
After a unanimous decision win over Zafer Sayik at ONE 167, Estupinan resumed his knockout journey when he stopped Sean Climaco at ONE 168: Denver at Ball Arena.
His third KO win in ONE Championship then came at the expense of El Jamari in Bangkok, putting his finish rate at an absurd 75 percent.
Johan Estupinan ready to give back to his community after taking home $50,000 bonus
Johan Estupinan may be on the path to superstardom, but he's not one to forget his roots and where he came from.
'Panda Kick' received a cool $50,000 bonus from ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong following his skull-crushing KO of Zakaria El Jamari at ONE Fight Night 25.
In his post-fight interview, Estupinan said he'll use the money to buy a house for his mother and help fund his dream of spreading Muay Thai in Colombia.
"Like I said before, I'm going to use the money to buy a house back in Colombia. I will also help spread Muay Thai in my community and help children that were in the same situation as I was when I was a child," said Estupinan.
