Alex Roberts is well aware of the danger that Roman Kryklia brings to the ring

Standing in Alex Roberts’ way of claiming 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold will be a man who has already accomplished that task not once but twice. Roman Kryklia has claimed both the light heavyweight and heavyweight world titles in kickboxing, In the process, he has dispatched five straight opponents, four of them by way of knockout.

Knowing the danger that the Ukrainian brings to the ring, ‘The Viking’ plans on staying mobile and staying on high alert when the two men meet inside Thailand’s iconic venue. He told ONE Championship:

“He is very explosive. He comes in and throws big combos. You’ve just got to really watch for that explosion. You need to be constantly moving so you don’t get hit, especially with those little gloves because it doesn’t take much.”
