Arsen “Qasqyr” Soiyrkas

Kazakhstan’s Arsen “Qasqyr” Soiyrkas is one of the most exciting young kickboxers on the rise, and the 21-year-old has already shown he has the tools to make a serious run in ONE Championship.

His nickname, “Qasqyr,” means “Wolf” in Kazakh, a fitting moniker for a relentless striker who hunts down his opponents every time he steps into the ring.

Before turning professional, Soiyrkas built an impressive resume as an amateur. He collected gold medals at domestic championships and international tournaments around the world, and his success earned him the title of International Master of Sports in kickboxing.

Determined to take his game to the next level, the Kazakh talent has spent the past two years sharpening his skills at powerhouse gyms in Phuket, Thailand. Today, he represents both Phuket Fight Club and Tamerlan Fight Club.

Fighting out of an orthodox stance, Soiyrkas is a rangy but aggressive striker who blends patience with power. He’s always on the front foot, yet his long reach and command of range usually allow him to attack with impunity, making him a nightmare matchup for anyone standing across from him.

That style translated into instant success in the professional ranks. Soiyrkas won his first five bouts, all by knockout, and that destructive run earned him the call to make his promotional debut at The Inner Circle 32 in September 2026.

There, he faced Japan’s Jin Mandokoro and passed his first test on the global stage with flying colors, earning a unanimous decision victory to push his perfect record to 6-0.

Now, the Kazakh sensation has his sights set on bigger things. He aims to keep his unbeaten streak alive and secure a life-changing US$100,000 contract with the world’s largest martial arts organization, a deal that would move him one step closer to his ultimate dream of challenging for ONE World Title gold.
