Tayfun Ozcan is ready for the biggest night of his fighting career this weekend as he takes on Marat Grigorian as he continues on his quest for the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Title.
The bout takes place as part of a stacked card for ONE Fight Night 2 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, and the Turkish challenger is relishing the opportunity to take on one of the best in the world.
Ozcan (88-9-3), comes into the fight making just his third appearance in ONE, but holding a fearsome reputation around the kickboxing world.
Grigorian (65-12-1-1), is well established and a former Glory lightweight champion. Last time out he took reigning ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Mawynn the distance when challenging for the title.
For fifth-ranked Ozcan it is the perfect opponent as he continues to climb the ranks – and seek a shot at Superbon himself – a fight he could secure with a win this weekend.
Following a close split-decision loss on his ONE debut in October last year, Ozcan rebounded with a win over Enrico Kehl. In the last five years he has built a dominant record, just that one defeat in 15 fights since April 2017.
For Grigorian, he will be looking for a trilogy fight against Superbon. In 2018 he won the knockout of the year award after a stunning finish against the current champion, but with the scores now tied at one fight all he will be keen to secure a rubber match.
With so much on the line for both men you can expect fireworks when the meet on the lead card of ONE Fight Night 2, which will also feature the highly anticipated clash for the Strawweight World Championship when champion Xiong Jing Nan defends her title against Atomweight queen Angela Lee, while a first ever submission-grappling champion will be crowned when Mikey Musumeci takes on Cleber Sousa.
