The ONE Championship event at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on May 15 will feature a highly anticipated five-round rematch between middleweight and light heavyweight champion Anatoly Malykhin and heavyweight titleholder Umar Kane. The bout will decide the ONE heavyweight world championship.
Umar Kane — Anatoly Malykhin
May 15, 2026, Friday. Approximately 14:30 Moscow time.
The fight is expected to start around 14:30 MSK. Live coverage will be available on the Match TV and Match! Fighter channels, as well as on the official ONE Championship website.
The first meeting between the two fighters took place in November 2024, with Kane handing Malykhin the first loss of his career and taking one of his three belts. Since then, the rematch has faced multiple postponements.
This clash promises to settle unfinished business between two of the promotion’s most dominant champions, with the heavy-weight gold as the ultimate prize.
