Perhaps no boxer has to receive information about changing the opponent before the One Fight Night 7 as much as Martin Nguyen. He was originally arranged to play with Shamil Gasanov. A week before the event, Gasanov was ill and withdrew from the fight. Initially ONE Championship was about to cancel the match of Martin Nguyen, then found an alternate boxer.
The original opponent they chose to fight Martin Nguyen was Razhab Shaydullullaev. The rookie has just signed a contract with One that owns a series of achievements of 6 wins, but in the end, he was forced to withdraw for unknown reasons. It seems that the cause stemming from the Razhab ShaydullaV does not reach enough weight.
Facing that situation, One Championship again started looking for another boxer. The person they closed was Leonardo Casotti, the opponent from Brazil. Initially, Leonardo Casotti was ranked against Anzor Chakaev at the One Lumpine 6 event. But with the current context, Chakaev may not compete, and Casotti played with Martin Nguyen.
Sharing with SCMP, Martin Nguyen said he felt quite disappointed because he could not fight Shamil Gasanov as expected. However, the boxer born in 1989 was still waiting for the opportunity to play, and set the goal to wait for Shamil Gasanov to return, and then the upper radio in the future. In the immediate future, the former One champion will have to defeat Casotti.
At the age of 31, Leonardo Casotti possesses a professional MMA performance 11 matches, including 9 wins and 2 defeats. He lost the first 2 matches, before the series of 9 consecutive victories over the past time. Leonardo Casotti possesses quite comprehensive fighting style when he is proficient in both standing and locking objects.
