Anatoly Malykhin is the undefeated heavyweight champion of the ONE Championship. He has recently revealed his commitment to the organization. He firmly declared that he has no intentions of leaving for the UFC or any other promotion. Throughout his remarkable career, the Russian champion has left a trail of phenomenal wins. In a total of 13 fights, he secured the Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight titles in ONE Championship. Anatoly delivered impressive finishes to all of his opponents, including nine knockouts and four submissions.
At the age of 35, Malykhin finds himself in the prime of his fighting years. He has established himself as one of the most formidable heavyweights in the world. His dominance was further solidified by his recent undisputed Heavyweight title triumph. As a result, the possibility of Malykhin becoming a highly sought-after free agent is in the discussion. But he remains resolute in his decision to remain loyal to ONE Championship.
During the post-fight press conference at ONE Friday Fights 22, Malykhin expressed his unwavering commitment. He stated, “I will not be swayed by any conditions that could tempt me to leave ONE. When nobody else showed interest in me, Mr. Chatri and ONE provided me with an opportunity… I don’t sell out.”
Regardless of the huge offers presented to him by the UFC or any other organization, Malykhin’s dedication lies with ONE Championship. He made it clear that as long as the organization requires his services and he remains a part of their roster, he intends to conclude his career within its ranks.
With numerous fights still ahead of him, the 35-year-old Russian fighter has set his sights on achieving a gigantic goal. He intends on becoming the first-ever three-division world champion in the ONE Championship. Malykhin’s burning desire to accomplish this goal serves as a testament to his unwavering loyalty and determination. His latest victory over Arjan Bhullar at ONE Friday Fights 22, where he successfully unified the heavyweight belts, marks another win in his glorious career.
