The journey to greatness is long and often difficult, but for this young nak muay, Ginny Teo of Singapore, it’s only the beginning.
When Ginny practices Muaythai, she exudes confidence, marches through adversity with resilience, and pursues the fruits of self-evolution, but how did Ginny get involved with the art of eight limbs? When she was younger, she wasn’t a child who enjoyed physical activity, but everything changed after her family trip to Thailand, where she witnessed a Muaythai fight live for the first time. During that fight, she became intrigued by the atmosphere, the intensity, and the respect shared between opponents. This Muaythai fight was the catalyst that propelled her rebirth into a nak muay.
She returned to Singapore, where she began to train and compete in the amateur Muaythai circuit, allowing her to develop her fundamentals and craft her fighting style. By competing in the amateur circuit, she was able to achieve a bronze medal in the 2025 Asian Muaythai Championships and a silver medal in the 2025 SEA Games. She then also achieved gold in the 2024 Asian Open Muaythai championship in Taiwan. Ginny built deep and meaningful relationships, often with people who once stood across from her as opponents but later became training partners and supporters who continually pushed her to grow. These connections have played a defining role in shaping the fighter she is today.
Ginny will be testing her style against Eunicka Costales from the Philippines for the WMC Asian Bantamweight ( -54kg) title on March 7th at WMC 10, World Muaythai Championship in Singapore. Ginny believes the WMC has credibility, exposure, and the opportunity to test herself against top-tier opposition, which in this case, would be Eunicka. Ginny acknowledges that Eunicka is not an easy cookie to crack due to her witnessing her compete at the SEA games, highlighting Eunicka’s unorthodox style, making her hard to read. Saying that, the only way to find out who wins in this matchup is by tuning into the fight on March 7th!
