ONE Championship heavyweight Mikhail Jamal Abdul-Latif is set to make his promotional debut against Kang Ji Won at ONE Fight Night 18 on Jan 12 in a three round heavyweight battle, sources tell Cageside Press.
Abdul-Latif (3-0) had originally been booked for his debut against Anderson “Braddock” Silva in July of 2022, only to be forced to withdraw from the bout due to injury. He will enter ONE Fight Night 18 on a three fight wins streak, with two finishes by way of knockout.
Won (6-2) will welcome a fighter to ONE Championship for the second consecutive time in the bout. He comes in off a loss to Ben Tynan at ONE on Prime Video 16 in November of 2023. With just one fight in the each of the last two years respectively, he will be back in action early in 2024. Perhaps setting himself up for a busier year in the process.
ONE Fight Night 18 will be headlined by a kickboxing bantamweight bout between Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Elias Mahmoudi in a main event title fight.
Reported bouts for the event include:
- Kwon Won II vs. Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg

- Artem Belakh vs. Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu
- Kang Ji Won vs. Mikhail Jamal Abdul-Latif
