Nagmula sa Almaty, Kazakhstan, beterano sa international fight ang 29-anyos na si Akhmetov tangan ang 23-1 professional record.

Sa kanyang huling aksiyon sa ONE, hinamon ni Akhmetov si Adriano Moraes, ang undisputed ONE Flyweight World Champion, ngunit nabigo siya via unanimous decision.

Sakaling magwagi kay Eustaquio, inaasahang mabibigyan muli ng pagkakataon na mapalaban sa title fight.

“I am excited to get back in the cage and compete. Defeat is part of this game, the important thing is to come back better. The body is ready, the mind is strong, and the spirit is willing. [Geje] Eustaquio is one of the best competitors in the division and a victory over him will mean a lot. I have one goal, and that is to get back my title. I will take care of anyone who stands in my way,” sambit ni Akhmetov.

Itinuturing isa sa pinakamahusay na fighter sa Asia, inaasahang maibibigay ng pambato ng Baguio City ang hinahanap na aksiyon ng manonood. Huling nagpamalas ng kahusayan ang dating wushu jin champion kontra striker Anatpong Bunrad via split decision.

“This is a huge bout against a former world champion, it is very important to me. Thank you ONE Championship for the opportunity. I will showcase my best skills in this bout and take home the win for the Philippines. [Kairat] Akhmetov is a world-class martial artist and I can’t wait to test my skills against him. When the cage door closes, it’s time for battle. I will make sure to come well prepared,” pahayag ni Eustaquio.
