Jean Claude Saclag to face 5-time ‘ONE Championship’ winner this Friday

Tabuk City, Kalinga – The undefeated Jean Claude ‘The Dynamite’ Saclag will be facing a 5-time ‘ONE Championship’ winner on his return to the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand for the third time this Friday, March 28, 2025.

The iKalinga fighter will be up against Shazada Ataev of Turkmenistan who has a record of five wins which include three submissions and two technical knock-outs.

Saclag who debuted in the competition last year carries two victories in the ONE Championship on his back. He won his first fight in the promotion in September 2024 via first round technical knockout, and he earned his second win through another first round stoppage in January 2025.

In spite of the height difference between Saclag and the taller Ataev, Coach Mark Sangiao through the Team Lakay’s website expressed optimism that his athlete can cope with the disadvantage.

“It was a fruitful training. Jean Claude was able to craft a game plan to counter the height disadvantage,” the coach was quoted saying.
