Jonay Risco (born 25 May 1987 in Spain) is a Spanish kickboxer currently signed with ONE Championship.[1]

He was ranked as a top ten lightweight by Combat Press between June 2018 and July 2021.[2][3]

Kickboxing career

Early career

Risco fought Andy Souwer during Enfusion 27, and won the fight by close decision after an extra round was fought.[4]

In September 2015, Risco fought the kickboxing legend Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong. He lost by unanimous decision.[5]

Enfusion title reign

Zuev and Risco fought a rematch four months later, during Enfusion 40, for the Enfusion 70 kg title. Risco won the rematch by unanimous decision.[6]

He was scheduled to fight the future two weight Enfusion champion Tayfun Ozcan during Enfusion 46. Risco won by TKO, as Tayfun suffered a cut on his shin.[7][8]

Risco had his first title defense during Enfusion 63, when he was scheduled to fight Buakaw Banchamek. Risco won the fight by decision.[9] He fought Davit Kiria in a non-title bout during Enfusion 66, and won by unanimous decision.[10]

Risco fought in the first round of the Kunlun Fight 70 kg tournament during KLF 75, when he won a unanimous decision against Li Shiyuan.[11] He then defended his Enfusion title for the second time with a decision win over Nordin Ben Moh.[12] Advancing to the KLF tournament quarterfinals, Risco faced Feng Xingli. Xingli won the fight by unanimous decision.[13]

Following this loss, Risco went on a 14-month hiatus from the sport, as he recovered from muscle and ligament injuries in his left leg.[14] Before suffering these injuries, Risco was scheduled to defend his title against Superbon Banchamek.[15]

Risco was scheduled to defend his Enfusion title for the third time in a rematch with Tayfun Ozcan.[16] Ozcan won the fight by unanimous decision.[17]
