Zhang Chenglong On The Cusp Of A World Title

The two square off for the inaugural ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Championship at ONE: MARK OF GREATNESS.

Growing up, the 22-year-old hero from Beijing didn’t have the focus and confidence he has now to achieve his goals. As a young boy, he was off-track and was seeking his own identity.

Zhang felt insecure which caused him to second guess everything he did.

Growing up in a family of martial artists, with his grandfather, father, and brother all being professional athletes, he accepted his calling and began training in Sanda and Muay Thai at the age of 12.

After middle school, Zhang decided to chase his martial arts dreams by moving to Thailand, where he began training and competing against elite opponents. By the time Zhang was 19 years old, he already had a notable amount of experience.

“Muay Thai Boy” has devoted his life to martial arts and has decided to carve his own path.
