Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang is now looking to settle down in one place as he intends to represent Soma Fight Club moving forward.
The strawweight rising star said that he’s leaving his nomadic ways and is now just finalizing his move to Bali while he awaits his next challenger.
“I’m moving to Bali. I am set to join them and really represent Soma,” Adiwang said.
Adiwang has been on a gym-hopping sojourn of sorts after leaving Team Lakay.
He first joined Hiit Studio for his comeback match, needing just 23 seconds to dismantle Adrian “Papua Badboy” Mattheis at ONE Friday Fights 34 back in September.
Adiwang then joined Soma Fight Club and scored a redemption win over Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado via unanimous decision at ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade last November.
Uncanny as it was, Thunder Kid said that this broadened his arsenal as he got exposed to a phalanx of training partners and coaches.
“I look at the bright side. It’s hard but I get challenged during our trainings as I get to work with different kind of athletes as well as international coaches who teach me strikes, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and other new things. That’s really the positive thing I’m doing,” Adiwang said.
Unfortunately, names in Adiwang’s wishlist in Gustavo “El Gladiator” Balart and Hiroba Minowa are already out of the picture with the two ranked fighters booked for a clash at ONE 166: Qatar on 1 March at Lusail Sports Arena.
