Roman Kryklia Faces Samet Agdeve in Historic ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Title Bout
Roman Kryklia’s quest for supremacy collides with Samet Agdeve’s undefeated hunger when they battle for the inaugural ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Championship at ONE Fight Night 37 on Friday, November 7, inside Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium.
The 6-foot-7 Ukrainian powerhouse enters carrying a 15-bout winning streak and dual-sport championship status that has established him as ONE’s most dominant heavyweight striker. His 51-7 professional record includes devastating knockout victories that claimed both the ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing and ONE Heavyweight Muay Thai World Titles.
Kryklia’s collection began in November 2019 when he dismantled Tarik Khbabez to capture inaugural light heavyweight kickboxing gold. His ascent continued through successful defenses against Andrei Stoica and Murat Aygun before moving up to claim the ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix silver belt.
The Ukrainian skyscraper added another dimension to his legacy at ONE Fight Night 17, knocking out WBC Muay Thai World Champion Alex Roberts to claim the inaugural heavyweight Muay Thai gold. His recent first-round TKO of Lyndon Knowles proved his dominance remains intact across multiple disciplines.
But Agdeve represents the kind of dangerous youth that ends legendary runs. The 21-year-old Turkish phenom brings a flawless 17-0 record with 12 knockouts into his promotional debut, having conquered the SENSHI Heavyweight Grand Prix by fighting three times in one evening.
The stylistic collision promises fireworks between proven championship experience and hungry perfection. Kryklia’s technical mastery and composure face Agdeve’s explosive power and the fearlessness that comes from never experiencing defeat.
History awaits the winner in Bangkok. Kryklia seeks unprecedented triple-champ status while Agdeve hunts the breakthrough victory that would announce him as heavyweight kickboxing’s next superstar.
Their inaugural title clash anchors a stacked ONE Fight Night 37 card that includes pivotal flyweight MMA action between American Gilbert Nakatani and Indonesian star Eko Roni Saputra, with both fighters seeking top-five divisional rankings.
