Anatoly Malykhin will look to reclaim the heavyweight title he lost earlier this year.
ONE Championship has officially announced that reigning ONE heavyweight champion Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane will put his title on the line against the very man he took it from when the promotion heads back to Ariake Arena in Tokyo for ONE 173 on Sunday, November 16.
Kane claimed the title from Malykhin at ONE 169 in November 2024, narrowly defeating the former three-division titleholder via a somewhat controversial split decision.
