Anatoly Malykhin dissects the ‘crucial quality’ that will power Fabricio Andrade to victory against Jonathan Haggerty

Current two-division ONE world champion Anatoly Malykhin knows a thing or two about his Tiger Muay Thai teammate Fabricio Andrade, as he is a close witness to his preparation and the amount of work he puts in during training.

Aside from the aforementioned factors, the reigning undisputed ONE light heavyweight and ONE heavyweight world champion also cited a vital quality that the ONE bantamweight MMA world champion will have in his upcoming fight.

‘Sladkiy’ stated that ‘Wonder Boy’s’ unmatched heart and perseverance to get the victory could propel him once again against ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Jonathan Haggerty in their ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title showdown.

Malykhin shared this in his most recent ONE Championship interview and said:

“In my opinion, the crucial quality Fabricio has that can help him win is his commitment to fight to the end. He is also physically very strong. Haggerty has never had such a physically gifted opponent.”

Andrade will go head-to-head with ‘The General’ in the main event of ONE Fight Night 16 on November 3 inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, where the winner will be crowned as the newest two-sport world champion in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

The Brazilian champion is coming off an incredible fourth-round TKO finish by John Lineker to capture the golden belt. Andrade also has victories over Mark Abelardo, Shoko Sato, Li Kai Wen, Jeremy Pacatiw, and Kwon Won Il to amass a perfect ONE Championship record of 6-0.

ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade on Prime Video will air live on US Primetime free of charge for existing Prime Video subscribers in North America.
