Newly crowned ONE Heavyweight MMA world champion Oumar “Reug Reug” Kane has challenged Francis Ngannou to what could be a huge matchup.
Reug Reug became the first African heavyweight world champion in ONE Championship’s history after a split decision win against the previously undefeated Anatoly Malykhin at ONE 169: Malykhin vs Reug Reug.
The 32-year-old Senegalese star challenged his PFL counterpart to the “biggest fight in African history”.
“The Boss, you were happy to make Francis Ngannou vs Anatoly (Malykhin) happen,” Reug Reug wrote on Instagram in an official post. “I beat the guy, so let’s make the biggest fight in African history: Ngannou vs Reug Rueg / PFL vs ONE.”
