In conjunction with ONE Friday Fights, ONE Championship will also host ‘The Inner Circle’ this Friday from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, and in the headlining bout Oumar Kane will look to defend his heavyweight title in a rematch against Anatoly Malykhin.
Kane (7-1) secured the title over Malykhnin (14-1) in 2024 after an impressive 4-0 run prior to the title shot. Because of multiple hold-ups, both fighters have been out of the ring since the razor-thin split decision in the first match. They had a 2025 date set to meet again, but Kane was forced to back out because of an ongoing injury.
ONE: The Inner Circle and ONE: Friday Fights 154 will go down live from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. The event will begin at 7:30 a.m. ET / 4:30 a.m. PT on Friday, May 15th. The broadcast will be readily available to stream for free on ONE Championship’s YouTube channel.
