Indeed, the return after nearly a year of “The Situ-Asian” (Martin Nguyen’s nickname) has attracted the attention of the martial arts world as well as the media. Because after losing the bantamweight title match with Kevin Belingon in July last year, the injury that followed forced the 30-year-old Vietnamese-American to give up the world lightweight championship belt because he could not compete at the ONE Championship event in September.
According to experts, the constant change of competition in many weight classes has hindered the overall success of the Vietnamese-born boxer. Therefore, fans are really waiting for this fight in his strong weight class.
“I have overcome some serious issues and am ready now. I feel strong and healthy and I am looking forward to getting in the ring,” Martin Nguyen said at the press conference. “This is my fourth fight in the Philippines and I am determined to defend my title. He (Narantungalag Jadambaa) is a complete fighter. I like his style of fighting and I will enjoy it in the fight on April 12.

However, if he wants to keep his belt, Martin Nguyen will have to overcome a big challenge against an opponent who is honored as one of the icons of Asian martial arts. Because even at the age of 43, Jadambaa still shows strength and flexibility in the octagon. Moreover, with an impressive comeback with 6/8 recent wins, the Mongolian legend has a great desire to win the championship belt he once owned, as well as make history as the oldest boxer to win a world championship belt.
Accordingly, in addition to his extensive battle experience, the 43-year-old Mongolian boxer’s “lightning” hooks will certainly be a tactic that Martin Nguyen will have to find a way to neutralize. At the press conference, Jadambaa expressed his determination by declaring: “My age is not a problem and I will fight with determination to be worthy of the fans’ honor.”
