The reigning ONE light heavyweight kickboxing and heavyweight Muay Thai world champion has racked up six dominant wins in the world's largest martial arts organization, a memorable chapter in his career that began in late 2019.

The Champ Belts affiliate opened his promotional account with a vicious second-round TKO of Moroccan slugger Tarik Khbabez at ONE: Age of Dragons in November 2019. Months later, he dished out a striking clinic against Romanian tank Andrei Stoica to take home a unanimous decision triumph.

Since then, Roman Kryklia has finished all four of his assignments inside the distance versus Murat Aygun, Guto Inocente, Iraj Azizpour, and Alex Roberts.

As impressive as he has been, the 33-year-old is sure that there's more to his game that can be developed. The Krasnograd native told ONE Championship:

"I don't think I've peaked yet. I've grown a lot during my time away from the ring, and I'm confident there's still more to show."
