ONE Championship has announced that Anatoly Malykhin will look to become a three-division champion at the promotion’s upcoming card in Qatar.

Malykhin (13-0), who currently holds ONE’s heavyweight and light-heavyweight titles, will battle middleweight champion Reinier de Ridder (16-1) at the March 1st card.

De Ridder lost the light-heavyweight title to Malykhin in December, 2022, via first-round knockout. The Netherlands’ fighter has gone 7-1 under the ONE banner to date.

Russia’s Malykhin, meanwhile, has won all five of his ONE appearances.

ONE 166 will be hosted by the Lusail Sports Arena.
