"I'm ready to hurt someone" - 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane sends chilling warning to ONE Fight Night 23 foe Boucher Ketchup
Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane is fired up and ready to go ahead of ONE Fight Night 23 where he steps back inside Lumpinee Stadium.
Kane has always been a force of nature when he steps inside the Circle but fans can expect to see something different from him in this match-up.
He is set to make his heavyweight kickboxing debut in a clash with an opponent that has brought this intensity out of him.
Fellow Senegalese wrestler Boucher Ketchup has not been complimentary of Kane as of late which has led to a feud between them.
They're now set to take their beef from social media to the ring on July 5 to settle this score once and for all.
Kane is a very physically intimidating figure but this isn't the only aspect of being around him on fight week which has made people cautious.
He spoke in an interview with ONE Championship ahead of fight night about how he's more than prepared to go out there and silence his rival:
"I'm excited at the chance to perform. I'm fit, I'm not injured, and I'm ready to hurt someone."
A motivated Reug Reug is not someone you want to step into the ring with
Having to face off with Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane is a difficult prospect, let alone when he is this motivated to let his hands go.
The Senegalese wrestling star has become a big name in combat sports through his incredible size, strength and power.
Boucher Ketchup got what he asked for but now he will need to try and back up his words on July 5.
Considering that Kane is set to be the next contender for the ONE heavyweight world championship at ONE 169 later this year, he isn't playing any games.
Expect fireworks once the fists start flying between these two giants.
ONE Fight Night 23 will air live and free at US prime time for North American viewers with an active Prime Video subscription.
