April is a great month for Reinier de Ridder (14-0, 5-0 One). The 30-year-old Dutch puncher has competed for the Light Heavyweight Aung La N Sang La N-TNT 4 after his expected opponent, Vitaly Bigdash, forced to retreat after positive Covid-19.
De Ridder accepted the match even 5 days of preparation and continued overwhelming the opponent to win the decision to agree. This is also the second time Reinier de Ridder defeated Aung La N Sang, with the first at One: Inside the Matrix.
Not long after this victory, the Dutch boxer called the heavy champion at that time, Brandon Vera. A few days later, despite being defeated and lost belt, “Dutch navigant” still aims to win the heavy king.
“Because I am doing history, why not try to achieve three championship belts, right? As far as I know, I am the only champion (one) ever, so please turn my success into the only three -belt champion,” he said in an interview.
At the One Championship tournament, De Ridder is the owner of the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight belt. According to De Ridder's feelings, he would not be affected too much if he moved to Heavyweight because his tight locking technique was still good enough to overcome all opponents.

“I don't really bother anyway.
