Chingiz “Chinga” Allazov urged ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Mawynn to stand and trade with him when they meet in their long-awaited World Title showdown.
Allazov and Superbon are set to throw down in the main event of ONE Fight Night 6 this Saturday, January 14, at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
The challenger hopes to have a fight to remember against the top pound-for-pound kickboxer on the planet—if Superbon obliges.
Allazov reminded his Thai counterpart to remember the words he used against kickboxing great Giorgio Petrosyan, who Superbon urged to brawl with him.
“Before, Superbon said to Petrosyan that Petrosyan is not a fighter—that he was a player. I say the same now. For me, Superbon is not a fighter. He’s a player, you know?” Allazov said.
The Belarusian kickboxer expects the Thai superstar to keep his distance by utilizing his kicks and avoiding a direct fight. That approach, according to Allazov, will make for a very boring fight, something he wants to avoid.
“He doesn’t like punching. He doesn’t like real fights. He has this clever game plan. He has kicks, kicks, kicks, [but] after that, maybe he would like [to] fight,” he said.
“He doesn’t like a boxing fight. He doesn’t like a power fight.”
Should Superbon decide to play by Allazov’s rules, the title challenger believes that the 32-year-old Singha Mawynn standout will have a rough time.
Allazov has seen Superbon make mistakes in the past, and if he slips against him, he promises to make him pay.
“I’m one of the biggest problems for [Superbon]. He knows this,” Allazov continued.
“He has good timing, he has a good universal style. I have kicks and power over him. He’s a very good fighter, but maybe he [will] make a little mistake, and it [will be] a big problem in his fight with me.”
