Alaverdi Ramazanov says he wouldn’t think twice about knocking out Petchtanong: “I’ll take it”
Alaverdi Ramazanov is always ready to go three rounds, but he'll never pass up on an opportunity to finish things early.
Looking to build on his 99-second knockout of Alessandro Sara at ONE Friday Fights 31 in September, 'Babyface Killer' will return to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for a bantamweight kickboxing clash with Muay Thai legend Petchtanong Petchfergus
Sitting as the No.3-ranked contender in the division, Ramazanov will be looking to not just hang onto his ranking, but make a statement as he continues his climb up the ladder in hopes of one day reclaiming the division's gold from reigning ONE world champion Jonathan Haggerty.
“I’m always prepared to fight for three rounds, but I’m a great striker and once I see an opportunity to knock my opponent out, I’ll take it,” Ramazanov said at the ONE Friday Fights 68 virtual press conference.
Thus far, most of Alaverdi Ramazanov's fights have taken place in the art of eight limbs. However, ONE Friday Fights 68 will be his third go in eight-ounce gloves after splitting his first two appearances
Alaverdi Ramazanov seeks his second career kickboxing win under the ONE Championship banner
Alaverdi Ramazanov first stepped into the world of kickboxing at ONE: Mark of Greatness all the way back in 2019.
There, he scored a decision victory over Zhang Chenglong. He followed that up with a loss against Capitan Petchyindee at ONE: Unbreakable a little more than a year later.
In the time since, he has largely competed in Muay Thai competition, earning wins over Pongsiri PK.Saenchai and Alessandro Sara.
Going back into kickboxing, 'Babyface Killer' will face a tough test against Petchtanong who has won back-to-back bouts against Zhang Chenglong and Hiroki Akimoto.
With a win over Alaverdi Ramazanov inside the Mecca of Muay Thai, Petchtanong will likely find himself with a spot in the top five come Monday morning.
