Undefeated heavyweight bruisers collide when Malykhin (10-0 | 6 KOs, 3 Subs) takes on Grishenko (5-0 | 3 KOs, 1 Sub) for the ONE interim heavyweight world title

• Malykhin is the most exciting, energetic heavyweight in ONE Championship
• Known for his sense of humor, Malykhin and his family regularly post comedy sketches for fans on social media (HERE)
• Malykhin trains at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand, with the likes of ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix Championship Finalist Chingiz Allazov and ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing World Champion Roman Kryklia
• Grishenko's personality is the polar opposite of Malykhin's; he elects to withhold words in favor of letting his skills in the Circle do the talking
• Only one of Grishenko's opponents has survived three rounds without being finished
