Black Panther Wins Over Malaysian Fans Ahead of ONE Muay Thai Grand Prix

Black Panther is achieving much more than victories in the ring. The Thai fighter from ONE Championship has become a favorite among Muay Thai fans in Malaysia, creating a connection that transcends borders.

Although he was not born in the country, Black Panther has found a growing and loyal fanbase in Malaysia, and this bond extends beyond fight nights.

On social media, he has started posting messages in Malay and using local music, which has caught the attention of his followers and boosted his popularity in the region.

Recently, he made sure to express his gratitude: "I may not have been born in Malaysia, but Malaysians have always supported me," he wrote.

Six Wins After a Bitter Debut

Inside the ring, the numbers are equally impressive. Black Panther boasts six wins and only one loss in ONE, with the sole defeat occurring in his debut. Since then, he has racked up six consecutive victories.

Among his most recent wins are Sean Climaco at ONE Fight Night 45 and Diego Paez at ONE Fight Night 42, the latter by split decision.

Ubaid Hussain on the Horizon

On November 20, 2026, Black Panther will face Ubaid Hussain in the quarterfinals of the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix. The match is set to take place at The Inner Circle 39, at Lumpinee Stadium.

This is an opportunity to continue advancing in the tournament and maintain his momentum. For the Malaysian fans, it’s another chance to support a fighter who has forged a special connection with the audience.

Black Panther's story highlights a side of Muay Thai that goes beyond elbows, knees, and judges' decisions: the relationship between fighter and fans can bridge languages, cultures, and nationalities.
