Eduard Folayang won’t be left out when it comes to the recent social media craze.

Folayang, however, decided to double it up with a 20-year challenge post.
After 2 decades doing what i am passionate with. #MartialArts 20years challenge. Grateful to all the people i met in…
But while many join in on the 10-year challenge to show how much they’ve changed physically, Folayang did his to somewhat remind himself how far he’s come.
True enough, Folayang has come a long way from being a national champion as a teenager to a two-time ONE world lightweight champion at 34.
