‘I’ll Have The Advantage’ – Akif Guluzada Vows To Leave Ferrari In The Dust At The Inner Circle 29

The 21-year-old phenom seeks a bounce-back win when he faces Ferrari Fairtex on September 4.

Azerbaijani kickboxing sensation Akif "King" Guluzada is poised to reclaim his form and leave his previous setback behind as he faces off against Ferrari Fairtex in the main event of The Inner Circle 29. The 21-year-old bantamweight is set to take on the Thai champion at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on September 4, with the match available exclusively through the ONE FC streaming platform.

Guluzada's lone defeat in his past five bouts came against Johan "Panda Kick" Estupinan at ONE Fight Night 44, where a unanimous decision resulted in a loss. He attributes that outcome to a lack of power and performance, claiming he has since rebounded and is stronger in the bantamweight division. Guluzada is not only confident in his own abilities but also dismissive of Ferrari's reputation and experience.

He sees the matchup as a clash of styles, with his kickboxing prowess giving him the edge. Guluzada is certain he'll have the advantage due to his superior fight IQ and speed, making him ready to emerge victorious with his 21st career win.
