Eduard Folayang Talks Leaving Team Lakay, Fresh Start Opening New Gym

Former ONE Championship lightweight king Eduard Folayang knows he is in the later stages of his career. But he still feels that he could ascend to the top of the division once more. Part of his last ditch effort will come at ONE Fight Night 14 against familiar foe Amir Khan.

On a five-bout skid, Folayang made the difficult decision to leave Team Lakay. The famed Filipino gym saw a mass exodus earlier in 2023, but for “Landslide” there are no hard feelings. It was simply an effort to change up his game and improve to re-enter the mix at lightweight.
