Third-ranked ONE Championship bantamweight MMA contender 'Pretty Boy' Kwon Won Il of South Korea says he is laser focused on the task at hand -- a world title opportunity against Brazilian rival 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade this weekend.
However, the 29-year-old P-Boy MMA founder can't help but ponder on the potential matchups that could open up to him once he becomes a world champion in the world's largest martial arts organization.
Kwon, in particular, is looking for big-money crossover fights with a handful of boxing stars.

He told Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview:
"I want money fights. I want exhibition fights against Ryan Garcia, Gervonta Davis, Naoya Inoue and etc. I want to make myself and ONE Championship known even more worldwide."
ONE Championship has held boxing matches in the past, so that is certainly not outside the realm of possibility. However, Kwon needs to take care of business first against an opponent who has knocked him out before.
Everything hangs in the balance at ONE 170 in Bangkok.
