Roman Kryklia gives props to downed opponent, calls for more challengers: "I'm waiting for big names"
Champ-champ Roman Kryklia wants to thank his latest opponent Lyndon Knowles for being brave enough to step in the ring with him at ONE Fight Night 30 on Prime Video last weekend.
He gave the Englishman his flowers but also called on more big-time opponents in the future. He told the South China Morning Post:
"I don't know. Not someone in particular, but I'm waiting. I'm waiting for big names. And of course, Lyndon Knowles, I respect him that he shared the ring with me, but I think he's not the most dangerous who can be in the ring with me. And I'm waiting. I'm waiting for really good opponents."
