SA wakas, matutupad na ang matagal nang inaasam ni dating ONE World Title challenger at current #2-ranked flyweight Danny “The King” Kingad na makaharap ang nais niyang karibal.
Mapapatunayan ng Pinoy fighter ang lakas at galing sa pakikipagtuos kay dating ONE Flyweight World Champion at current #3-ranked flyweight Kairat “The Kazakh” Akhmetov ng Kazakhstan sa ONE: BIG BANG na mapapanood ng live mula sa Singapore Indoor Stadium sa Disyembre 4.
Matagal nang hinahangad ni Kingad ang laban kay Akhmetov, at ngayong naiparehas na siya, kumpiyansa siyang makakamit ang panalo sa ONE Circle.
“I’ve wanted to face him for a long time because I want to test my skills against him, particularly in wrestling. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s going to be a fun fight,” sambit ni Kingad.
“I think I’m better than him in the striking department, but we’ll have to wait and see in the fight. He’s improved a lot.”
Hindi pipitsugin si Akhmetov na isang three-time National Greco-Roman Champion sa Kazakhstan, at regional taekwondo champion.
“I think I’m better than him all-around. I’m very proud of my skills, and I think I have the best team behind me. We’ve prepared very well for this fight. We have a good strategy coming into this. I want to win for my family, my fans, and for the Filipino people,” aniya.
