Former ONE Heavyweight Championship challenger Beibulat Isaev of Russia returns to the ring on Friday, May 26 at ONE Friday Fights 72 at Lumpini Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
It’s rare to see heavyweights on a 24-fight card, so the fight between Australian Alex Viking Roberts and Beibulat Isaev will be an event for the OFF 72 crowd. The fight will be held under Muay Thai rules in the light heavyweight division. Both fighters have successfully weighed in and hydrated.
Roberts made his presence known last December by fighting for the championship. This fight will be a true test for both fighters and will determine which one of them becomes the next contender for the championship. The knockout potential at this weight is very high.
Both fighters are Muay Thai world champions outside of ONE: Viking holds the WBC belt and Isaev holds the WMC belt. This fight is important to determine the next contender for the fight with champion Roman Krykla.
Beybulat Isaev, 30 (23-6), is the Muay Thai World Champion according to WMC. He has been competing in ONE since 2019 and has fought 5 times, winning three of them. Isaev represents Fight Club NORD 86. During his career, he has won the European Muay Thai Cup, as well as world titles in Muay Thai and K-1.
