3 Things To Know About Undefeated Aslamjon Ortikov

Aslamjon Ortikov’s perfect 22-0 record faces its ultimate test when he meets #4-ranked Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in flyweight Muay Thai action at ONE Fight Night 36 on Friday, October 3, inside Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

The 22-year-old Uzbek striker earned his six-figure contract through eight consecutive ONE Friday Fights victories, four by knockout, proving his ability to handle elite Thai competition. Now he faces Kongthoranee, a seasoned veteran whose ranking reflects dangerous championship-level skills.

Ortikov’s Brother Sold His Car To Fund His Dreams

Ortikov’s perfect record carries the weight of family sacrifice that extends beyond typical support. The youngest of three brothers discovered true loyalty when his sibling sold his car to finance the Uzbek striker’s Muay Thai journey to Thailand.

That life-changing gesture continues driving his championship pursuit. His father’s wisdom shaped his fearless approach, teaching him to focus on preparation rather than opponent size.

“My brother sold his car for me to come to Thailand. My family is my everything,” he said.

Bachelor’s Degree Separates Him From Fighter Stereotypes

While most fighters abandon education for prizefighting, Ortikov completed his bachelor’s degree at Tambov State University in Russia this past 2024, proving his academic achievement and ONE Championship dreams aren’t mutually exclusive.

His daily routine balanced morning studies with afternoon training, pursuing tourism education in Uzbekistan before completing his Russian degree. The commitment reflects his understanding that modern fighters need more than raw power.

200 Amateur Fights Built Unshakeable Foundation

Ortikov’s professional perfection stems from amateur fights that began at age 8 when curiosity led him to follow his brothers into a neighborhood boxing gym. His first bout ended in victory, his second in defeat, but both results created unshakeable addiction to competition.

By his teenage years, he had accumulated over 200 amateur contests that carved the slick rhythm and instinctive timing defining his professional style.

“From the first day I loved it. I understood this is for me,” he said.
