Bogdan Shumarov

After an impressive showing on the weekly ONE Friday Fights event series, Bogdan Shumarov is eager to continue his run in the world’s largest martial arts organization and capture ONE World Title gold.

Over the course of his career, the Bulgarian slugger has built a solid reputation as a fearsome striker around the European kickboxing scene. He competed for some of the biggest promotions on the continent and compiled a 15-2-1 record, which led to a deal with ONE Championship.

Training at SB Gym in Utrecht, Netherlands, under the tutelage of legendary coach Said El Badaoui and several world-class fighters such as former ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Ilias Ennahachi, it’s easy to understand just why Shumarov is highly regarded within the striking realm.

Not only does he possess bout-ending power with his hooks and overhands, but he can rack up tremendous damage with his kicks. His knockout ability was evident during his promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 6, as he put Tunisian dynamo Marwen Houli to sleep with a thumping overhand right inside the opening round.

Shumarov has another tough assignment in Moldovan-Russian megastar Constantin Rusu at ONE Fight Night 12 on Prime Video next. But he’s thoroughly prepared to impress again, garner more victories, and move closer to a dream match with two-sport lightweight king Regian “The Immortal” Eersel.
