Newly crowned ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion Roman Kryklia will defend the title against Romanian star Andrei Stoica on 10 April in Jakarta, Indonesia. ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced the news on Facebook.
The Kryklia-Stoica bout will be part of an event called ONE Infinity 1. ONE Infinity events are a new concept by the organization.
“A typical ONE Infinity Series event features three World Championship bouts, a minimum of 12 World Champions in action, Super Fights, A-list celebrities in attendance, and much more,” Sityodtong wrote. MMA title bouts featuring former UFC Champion Demetrious Johnson and ONE star Aung La Nsang are also scheduled for the ONE Infinity debut on 10 April.
Ukraine’s Kryklia won the inaugural title with a stoppage victory over contender Tarik Khbabez last December. The win avenged a previous loss to Khbabez for the 2018 KLF Heavyweight and former Tatneft Cup Champion.
Stoica lost to Khbabez in his ONE debut but earned a title opportunity with two straight victories. The popular Romanian defeated Morocco’s Ibrahim el Bouni by unanimous decision then scored an exciting first-round KO over Brazilian veteran Anderson “Braddock” Silva last December.
