Oumar Kane "Reug Reug" to defend ONE Championship heavyweight title against Anatoly Malykhin in highly anticipated rematch

ONE Championship heavyweight world champion Oumar Kane, known as "Reug Reug," is set to defend his title against Russian fighter Anatoly Malykhin on May 15 at ONE Friday Fights 150, held at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. This rematch, confirmed by ONE Championship, continues a rivalry between the two athletes. Their first encounter in November 2024 at ONE 169 saw Reug Reug win by split decision after five rounds, securing the heavyweight belt and ending Malykhin's undefeated streak in the category. Malykhin, known for his power and versatility, has been eager for this rematch to reclaim his title. The fight was originally scheduled for November 2025 at ONE 173 but was postponed after a serious road accident prevented the Senegalese champion from participating.
