Johan Estupinan claims 2025 will be "the year of many victories" for him.
Estupinan is coming off the most successful calendar year in his fighting career. The undefeated Colombian made his ONE Championship debut in May 2024 and went on to secure four wins, including three by knockout.
Heading into 2025, Estupinan plans to continue building momentum and potentially earn a flyweight Muay Thai title shot, which he explained during an interview with ONE:
"I’m most excited about my fights. 2025 will be the year of many victories and I know that ONE will see that I’m ready for a title shot. My brother and I will both be champions inside of ONE."

Johan Estupinan started his promotional tenure with a 27-second knockout win against Kouta Omori. Less than a month later, the Columbian striker returned for his lone promotional unanimous decision victory against Zafer Sayik.
Estupinan fought twice more in 2024, defeating Sean Climaco and Zakaria El Jamari with respective second-round knockouts. The 22-year-old now looks to further put the division on notice in an upcoming matchup against a fellow flyweight prospect.

Johan Estupinan faces tough challenge at ONE 170
On January 24, Johan Estupinan will fight for the first time in 2025 during ONE 170. The Colombian striker's upcoming opponent is also a highly-touted flyweight Muay Thai prospect, 18-year-old Johan Ghazali.

Three months later, Ghazali retired to end the calendar year with a first-round knockout against Josue Cruz. He now looks to take the next step toward a flyweight Muay Thai title shot by taking out Estupinan.
