Interim Heavyweight Title Fight Headlines One Championship ‘Only the Brave’ on Jan. 28

Anatoliy Malykhin and Kirill Grishenko will vie for the interim heavyweight crown when they square off in the main event of One Championship “Only the Brave” on Jan. 28.

The Singapore-based promotion announced the pairing on Monday. One “Only the Brave” takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium. No further bouts were announced for the card. The winner of the fight will presumably face reigning heavyweight king Arjan Singh Bhullar at a later date.

A native of Kemerov, Russia, Malykhin is undefeated in nine professional outings. The former Fight Nights Global competitor kicked of his One tenure with first-round finishes of Alexandre Machado and Amir Aliakbari in 2021. He has finished all nine of his triumphs inside the distance.

Grishenko, who hails from Belarus, brings a 5-0 mark into his matchup with Malykin. The 30-year-old is 2-0 under the One banner, with victories against Oumar Kane and Dustin Joynson to his credit.
