Keanu Subba Featured at ONE on Prime Video 3 Media Day in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur (14 Oct) - ONE Championship, the largest martial arts organization in the world held a media day today via zoom with local MMA star Keanu Subba. The zoom media day gave media an opportunity to interact with Keanu prior to his bout during ONE on Prime Video 3, on Saturday, October 22 at Axiata Arena against South Korea’s Yoon Chang Min (Pro MMA Record: 5-2).

Keanu (Pro MMA Record: 9-5) said, “When I go out there and perform, I go all out. I give it my everything because that is my motto in life, and my fans deserve it. I wouldn’t be here without the fans, and I owe a lot to them. My next fight is going to be a spectacle and fans will surely not want to miss it. My time on the ONE Championship stage has been incredible for my career and I’m getting better everyday.”

Keanu’s most recent fight was at ONE Championship – ONE 160, where he won against Singapore’s Amir Khan via KO (Punches) in August of this year.

MIMMA Featherweight Champion Keanu was born to a Nepalese father and Malaysian mother in Kuala Lumpur. As a result, he was often picked on in school due to his mixed heritage, but Keanu decided to embrace his identity instead and he soon earned the acceptance of his peers.

Back in Kuala Lumpur, Keanu finally found a gym he could afford, and he began his formal training. After less than six months of training, he courageously took his first bout against Malaysian veteran AJ Lias Mansor. Although he ultimately lost by decision, his courage inspired his cousin, who called Keanu his hero before tragically passing away. Keanu went on to blaze a trail through the Malaysian scene to become a two-time MIMMA Featherweight Champion before signing with ONE Championship. Since debuting on the global stage, he has stopped several opponents in the very first round to stand out as one of the most exciting young talents to watch.
