'The Silent Assassin' is looking to sustain his momentum and extend his win streak to three, after previously beating Suablack Tor Pran49 in January 2025 at ONE Fight Night 27 and Soe Line Oo in March 2025 at ONE Fight Night 29.
Kovtun also holds a victory against Ferrari Fairtex, whom he unanimously beat during his promotional debut in August 2024 at ONE Fight Night 24.
