One-two-division tournament king Anatoly Malykhin will open his doors if Francis Nganu and his team are open to a cross-promotional battle to determine the best MMA heavyweight athlete in this era.
The undefeated Russian tank, with a 100 percent finish rate and 13-0 resume, remained open to the prospect of facing the Cameroonian athlete to prove he is best in class after consolidating his heavyweight gold against Arjan Bahular at ONE. Friday fights 22 last month.
He picked up his seventh consecutive win by knockout after brutally beating Singh inside the Lumpini Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last month.
And while attending ONE Fight Night 12 last week, “Sladkiy” was once again asked about a potential fight against the former UFC champ.
In response, ONE Championship said:
“For the MMA match against Ngannou, it will be an interesting competition – the champions of the best tournaments in the world, competing on the international stage.”
The rivalry between Anatoly Malykhin and Nagano would be a major draw and could interest the world’s largest martial arts organization and American promotion. However, finalizing a co-promotional deal isn’t as easy as it sounds.
But if both sides are ready to come together at some point, the ONE Championship’s heavyweight and lightweight king is poised to prove he has all the skills to back up his talk in and out of the ring.
