"I'm here to beat him up" - Boucher Ketchup is laser-focused on knocking 'Reug Reug' out at ONE Fight Night 23

The upcoming heavyweight kickboxing fight between Boucher Ketchup and Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane at ONE Fight Night 23 is not short of animosity despite the short buildup to the fight.

Promotional newcomer Ketchup wants to drag his fellow Senegalese behemoth back to Earth and force him to stop talking a lot of smack with a masterful performance that would humble him on fight night at Lumpinee Stadium.

Ketchup revealed this during a recent Instagram post of ONE Championship, where he said:

"I want to fight him [Reug Reug] because I see he's talking too much! Too much! And I want to stop him from talking. That's it. He said that behind my back. He doesn't see me. If he saw me face-to-face, he's not gonna say that. I'm here to beat him up, and I'm going to stop him talking a lot of ****. One knockout, that's it."

Kane has become one of the top heavyweight MMA contenders in the world's largest martial arts organization. His well-rounded skillset allowed him to record five wins and one loss in six bouts under the promotion.

But Ketchup desires to teach him a lesson for talking too much against him.
