Undefeated featherweight contender Shamil Jasanov wouldn’t make the mistake of overlooking his next opponent inside the ring, Gary Tonon.
Gasanov is currently set to co-main event with The Lion Killer when the ONE Championship returns to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on July 14 at ONE Fight Night 12 on Prime Video. With both men able to hold their own on the ground, anything can happen when Jasanoff and Tonon meet inside the Mecca of Muay Thai:
“Tonon should not be underestimated,” Jasanov told ONE Championship in a recent interview. “We are both skilled wrestlers, and we are a threat until the last second of the fight.”
Gasanov will go into ONE Fight Night 12 with a perfect 13-0 record, and his last win came inside Circle at ONE on Prime Video 3 last year. In his promotional debut, “The Cobra” scored an impressive first-round submission over Kim Jae-woong two minutes into the opening round. This victory was enough to put him in fifth place in the featherweight rankings.
He will be looking to push his way further up the standings against Tonon, who sits second in the rankings.
After scoring six straight mixed martial arts wins under the ONE Championship banner, “The Lion Killer” was matched against then-world featherweight champion Than Law in March 2022. Unfortunately for Tonon, things didn’t go his way, and he found himself sent down in the underworld. than a minute into the competition.
Since then, Tonon has bounced back with a first round submission to Johnny Nunez. “The Lion Killer” hopes that a decisive victory over Gasanov will give him another chance to become the ONE World Champion.
