Kuzmin, 28, enters the fight in strong form, having won three of his last four bouts. The bout represents a rapid turnaround for the Venum Training Camp fighter, who told the Bangkok Post backstage that he was ready to fight “anyone, anywhere”. The reshuffle comes after Climaco’s withdrawal through a foot injury left Ghazali without a replacement fight, forcing the Malaysian teenager off the January 24 card entirely. With Kuzmin vs Battbootti and Siasarani vs Dantas now confirmed, ONE has reinforced the Fight Night 39 lineup as it prepares for its first main roster event of the year.
