Akif Guluza added more steam to his hype train after he scored a massive win over Sean Climaco in their flyweight Muay Thai battle last May 2 as part of the ONE Fight Night 31 card, which went down inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
This latest victory by the 19-year-old phenom has maintained his immaculate record under the world's largest martial arts organization with a 4-0 slate, and added more confidence to him.
Guluzada was asked by Nick Atkin in his post-fight interview, and he expressed his readiness to fight anyone in the stacked flyweight Muay Thai division, as he proclaimed:
"Yeah, there's many good opponents in my division. And I'm ready for anyone, so we're ready."

"I called him right after the fight, and he was very happy. It's my first fight with the contract. It's my first morning fight. Usually, I fight in the evenings here. So yes, he watched, and he was overall very happy."
