Akif Guluzada prepares for bantamweight return at The Inner Circle 29

Akif Guluzada faces Ferrari Fairtex in a bantamweight kickboxing headliner at The Inner Circle 29 on September 4. The event takes place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Guluzada moves up to the bantamweight division following a unanimous decision loss to Johan Estupinan at ONE Fight Night 44. The 21-year-old fighter attributed his previous performance to weight-cutting struggles that hindered his power. Guluzada enters this matchup holding a 20-1 career record, while his opponent brings extensive professional Muay Thai experience. The fight marks the second main event appearance for the Azerbaijani striker under the organization's banner.
