The dual sport king will duke it out with Turkish bruiser Samet Agdeve for the chance to be crowned the first-ever ONE heavyweight kickboxing world champion in the main event of ONE Fight Night 37 on Prime Video.

This historic clash goes down on Nov. 7 in Bangkok, Thailand, as Kryklia chases rarified air among combat sports legends.

The 6-foot-7 demolisher has steamrolled through every challenger in the home of martial arts, including six devastating finishes in seven victories.

For the 34-year-old on a quest for immortality, Agdeve is just another name on the hitlist. Kryklia shared in his pre-event interview with ONE Championship:

“I want to make history. I want to return the attention of people to heavyweight. That's why I'm very hungry. And I'm going forward.”

Kryklia already sits atop two divisions across two sports, yet his desire for greatness burns hotter than ever.

His 15-fight winning streak dates back to 2018, and he plans to stretch that at the ONE newcomer’s expense at ONE Fight Night 37.

The full event streams in U.S. primetime on Prime Video for North American viewers.
