Danny “The King” Kingad is set to return to the cage in ONE Fight Night 15: Tawanchai vs. Superbon on October 7 at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The No. 3-ranked flyweight contender will be facing a dangerous “Wolf Warrior,” Hu Yong, as he looks to inch closer at another shot at the gold.
“I’m excited. I know Hu Yong is a very skilled and dangerous fighter, so I’m doing everything to prepare for him and what he plans to do,” he said.
Kingad will be coming off an impressive unanimous decision against Eko Roni Saputra at ONE Fight Night 7: Lineker vs. Andrade II last February, and a win could put him in the title conversation once again against ONE flyweight king Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.
“The goal is to get back into title contention, and I know that another win here would put me in a good position to chase for the belt,” he said.
But that doesn’t mean that Team Lakay’s bet is discounting his Chinese opponent.
He has every reason to be wary, with “Wolf Warrior” on a two-fight win streak, including a knockout win against Team Lakay veteran and former ONE flyweight Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio at ONE 164: Pacio vs. Brooks in December last year.
Still, “The King” has his full belief in what he can do and said, “I’m confident in my skills, and I’d love to test myself against him.
