Yasin Güren: “I Will Beat Thian de Vries”

Turkish kickboxer Yasin Güren, one of the top competitors at Enfusion, opens up in a deep and honest interview filmed outside the gym in Phuket, Thailand, where he is currently on a training camp preparing for a busy fight year ahead. Yasin Güren’s story is nothing short of inspiring. Before becoming an A-class professional kickboxer, he weighed 145 kilograms and started kickboxing simply as a way to lose weight. What began as a fitness goal quickly turned into a passion — and eventually a professional career at the highest level of the sport. Unlike many fighters, Yasin started late, only after his teenage years, proving that discipline and obsession can overcome time and doubt. In this interview, Yasin reflects on: • The man he was at 145 kg versus the man he is today • His journey from insecurity to elite-level competition • His fight against Thian de Vries at Enfusion — a bout in which Yasin scored a knockdown before eventually being stopped • How he looks back at that fight today and why he believes he can win a rematch • What it feels like to compete against one of Enfusion’s top fighters • How becoming a father has changed his mindset, motivation, and discipline • The pride he feels showing fight footage to his son • His goals for the coming months and how active he plans to be this year • Whether a future transition to mixed martial arts (MMA) is something he considers • And finally, what Yasin would say today to his younger self — the overweight, insecure young man who had no idea where kickboxing would take him This is not just a fight interview — it’s a conversation about identity, struggle, purpose, and growth through combat sports. 📍 Filmed in Phuket, Thailand 🥊 Fighter: Yasin Güren 🏆 Promotion: Enfusion Kickboxing If you’re interested in real fighter stories beyond wins and losses, this one is for you. #fighter #kickboxing #warrior #turkey #thailand #interview #champion
