Reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Chingiz Allazov admits that Marat Grigorian’s typical approach to every fight is a stylistic nightmare for him.
Stepping into the ring at the Legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Allazov looked to defend his title for the very first time against former three-time GLORY Kickboxing world champion Marat Grigorian.
‘Chinga’ entered the bout with a heap of confidence courtesy of his stunning second-round KO of Superbon Singha Mawynn earlier this year.
Even with taking out one of the greatest kickboxers in the history of the sport, Chingiz Allazov knew that Grigorian would pose one of the greatest challenges of his career:
