Vladimir Kuzmin

Vladimir Kuzmin is an agile striker who is looking to make a serious statement in ONE Championship’s bantamweight Muay Thai division. The striking ace had a nearly perfect record leading up to his debut on the global stage, including earning a silver medal at the 2017 World Games in Wroclaw, Poland.

Kuzmin earned his roster spot by winning the one-night Road To ONE 4 tournament in November 2020, defeating both of his opponents via unanimous decision.

The Russian stood out in his first matchup in the Circle, bringing home a unanimous decision against Scotland’s Chris Shaw after an all-out striking war in February 2022. And though he dropped a split decision to “Elbow Zombie” Muangthai PK.Saenchai five months later, he pushed the veteran to the limit and proved to be a force to even the most established stars of the sport.

Kuzmin’s ability to both pressure his opponents and fight off the back foot makes him a threat to every bantamweight striker. Furthermore, the Fight Club Archangel Michael representative has demonstrated his ability to withstand even the most powerful blows. He refuses to give up, no matter how demanding or well-known his opponents are.

The Yekaterinburg resident aspires to be the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion and is eager to face the organization’s most difficult challenges to get there. He intends to join the growing list of Eastern European athletes who have earned the prestigious title of ONE World Champion, including Alaverdi Ramazanov and Anatoly Malykhin.
