Ismail Khan will be handed another chance to impress at ONE Friday Fights 54. He has been matched with Yryskeldi Duisheev in a battle between two undefeated flyweights at Lumpinee Stadium this week.
Khan (7-0) has already won twice on these shows. Last time out he beat Rabindra Dhant by decision at ONE Friday Fights 45and if the Pakistani can make it three in a row a ONE Championship contract potentially awaits.
Duisheev (9-0) beat Magomed Magomedov at ONE Friday Fights 21. He also holds victories over some experienced flyweights on the highly competitive Russian scene.
