At ONE Fight Night 17, which took place last Friday, Roman Kryklia, who had just been declared a world champion in two weight classes and two sports, made history. At the illustrious Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, the Ukrainian powerhouse knocked out Alex Roberts, the WBC heavyweight Muay Thai world champion, to become the first-ever ONE heavyweight Muay Thai world champion. The fight took place in front of a furious audience.
To accomplish this, he landed a left hook that was straight out of hell. The ONE heavyweight Muay Thai world title, the ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix belt, and the ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing World title belt are the three belts that Roman Kryklia currently possesses.
I have included a video of the conclusion:
Fans went completely insane in the comments area, saying things like:

Just as @igor.dzaic put it so eloquently and precisely:
“Perfect left hand!”
When the violent conclusion occurred, practically everyone inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium thought the same thing, and @iam_keaton expressed those thoughts:
“Oh my god !!!😢👏”
This was proclaimed by @supholjamnong47:
“No one can defeat him 👏👏👏”
The Instagram account @ethanramsay03 expressed gratitude to ONE Championship for continually putting up incredible fight cards:
What a remarkable card, thank you to ONE for consistently providing us with stunning examples of violence 😍
Roman Kryklia vs. Alex Roberts at ONE Fight Night 17 play-by-play
Roberts came out with the intention of reducing the deficit as soon as possible, anticipating that Roman Kryklia would take use of his height and reach advantage. On the other hand, the Ukrainian was well-prepared for this, as evidenced by the fact that he knocked down “The Viking” within the first thirty seconds of the fight with a tremendous right punch. As soon as Roberts was able to get back to his feet, he immediately went back to work, with the intention of using his knockout power to defeat his opponent from Ukraine.
Roberts appeared to deliver a hard back elbow with just a few seconds remaining in the opening round, which caused Kryklia’s legs to tremble from the impact. At that point, Roberts made an effort to put an end to the battle; nevertheless, the world champion was able to survive with only a few seconds remaining in the round.
It was Roman Krylia who would land the big blow, flat-lining Roberts with a devastating 2-3 combination that knocked ‘The Viking’ out cold. Roberts came out in the second round to finish what he had begun, but Roman Krylia was the one who eventually won!
Chatri Sityodtong, the CEO of ONE Championship, awarded Kryklia a bonus of fifty thousand dollars in recognition of his remarkable knockout victory.
