“A Lot of Questions That Haven’t Been Answered” – Arjan Bhullar Is Determined to Break Through Anatoly Anatoly Malykhin’s Character When They Face Each Other

Arjan Bhullar isn’t a fan of Anatoly Malykhin or his reign as ONE Championship’s interim heavyweight king, and he’s looking to end it when they finally get their hands on each other on Friday, June 23. 

The two behemoths will meet to determine who the undisputed ONE Heavyweight World Champion is at ONE Friday Fights 22 inside the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. 

“Singh” hasn’t not fought since claiming the divisional crown from Brandon Vera in 2021, but he believes he is still the rightful king of the division. 

“First, he’s not a two-division World Champion. If I win, it will be, ‘And still…’. And if he wins, it will be, ‘And the new…’. There’s only one ONE Heavyweight World Champion,” Bhullar told ONE Championship.

“But he’s a Light Heavyweight World Champion. I’m the World Champion of the heavyweight division, and we’re going to fight, and that’s what it is.”

Malykhin has run through everyone that has stood in his way in ONE, finishing all three of his opponents in the heavyweight no later than the second round. 

He then dropped weight to claim the light heavyweight strap from previously unbeaten superstar Reinier de Ridder. 

Despite the Russian success, Bhullar believes that his rival will be tested in new ways once they face off in the ring.

“There’s been a lot of questions that haven’t been answered. I’m going to ask them, and I don’t think he has the answers,” he said.

“He’s never been punched. He’s never been kicked. He’s never been kneed. He’s never been taken down. He’s never been backed up. He’s never been made uncomfortable. He’s never been made to fight someone else’s fight. He’s never been made to fight on his back foot. He’s never been made to go deep into a fight where he throws everything onto a guy and the guy is still there. Those are a lot of questions. And his character? I do not think it will hold up.”
