Wrestler Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane in 'major car crash' before Nov. 16 match

Heavyweight champion Oumar “Reug Reug” Kane had to delay his title fight and ONE 169 rematch with Anatoly Malykhin due to a serious car accident in the UAE. The fight was set as the co-main event at the ONE 173 event in Tokyo, Japan, but Kane's injuries from the accident prevent him from competing on November 16. Official sources confirmed the accident without disclosing further details on his condition. This is a significant setback for Kane, who was set to defend his heavyweight title in front of a large Japanese audience. Kane has won his last four fights, including a split-decision victory over Malykhin. Malykhin, with a record of 14-1, suffered his first loss against “Reug Reug”.
