Sherdog.com learned Tuesday morning that Belarusian heavyweight Kirill Grishenko (5-2, 2-2 ONE) is booked to return against the hard-hitting Ji Won Kang (7-2, 4-2 ONE) in a three-round clash on July 5 at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
The bout will mark Grishenko’s return to action following a Round 1 submission loss to grappling savant Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida in August 2022, which was preceded by a Round 2 knockout at the hands of reigning three-division champion Anatoly Malykhin in February 2022.
Meanwhile, Kang has gone 2-2 in his last four promotional outings and will enter on the heels of a Round 2 technical knockout victory over Mikhail Jamal Abdul-Latif at ONE on Prime Video 18 in January. Prior to that, the South Korean suffered his second professional loss against undefeated American Ben Tynan at ONE on Prime Video 16 in November 2023.
