Amir Naseri (born 14 February 1991) is an Iranian Muay Thai fighter, fighting out of Malaysia. He is also one of a small number of non-Thai's to be awarded the Thailand King’s Cup, which he won in 2019.[1][2]
He is currently signed to the ONE Championship promotion, where he has competed in the star-studded flyweight division[3], and is the founder and head coach of Panthera Combat and Conditioning, a martial arts gym based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Biography and Career
Born in Tehran, Naseri moved with his family across the continent to Kuala Lumpur when he was eight years old[4]. During his adolescence he took an interest in learning how to fight, an interest that led him to discover a local gym called Kambiz Warriors, which was located near his school [4][3].
After picking up the basics and finding an aptitude for the sport, Naseri realized in order to progress to the top level and compete against world-class athletes, he would need to travel to Thailand - the home of Muay Thai. In 2012, he travelled to Thailand, initially training at a handful of gyms across the country, before finding residency at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket two years later[4].
Throughout his fighting career Naseri has won numerous accolades, including King’s Cup of Thailand Champion (2019), Omnoi Stadium World Champion (2019), West Australia Thai Boxing Champion (2019), WMC I-1 Pacific Champion (2018), WMC I-1 Intercontinental Champion (2018), WMC World Champion (2017 and 2016), WMC I-1 Grand Prix World Champion (2015), WMC I-1 Grand Prix Super Fight Champion (2015) and twice Malaysian Champion (2012 and 2014)[5].
In 2024, Naseri founded Panthera Combat and Conditioning[6] in his hometown of Kuala Lumpur, where he is currently head coach.
