Vitaly Bigdash has his eyes set on Reinier De Ridder and two division titles

Vitaly Bigdash has his eyes set on ONE Double champion Reinier De Ridder.

Bigdash, in his recent interview with ONE Championship, revealed that his goal is to become a two-division champion in the promotion.

“It will be a dream to try my luck against Reiner de Ridder. He is undefeated and a current ONE Light Heavyweight and Middleweight World Champion. I walk around at about 98 kilograms which falls in between these two weight categories so I either have to drop 8 kilograms or go up a couple of kilos. Going up is always easier. I’d like to try fighting in a higher weight class in the future,” Bigdash said.

Bigdash started his journey with ONE Championship back in 2015 and had secured a win over Igor Svirid. After this, Bigdash fought two times with Aung La N Sang and once with Leandro Ataides as well.

The Russian further went on to add that he is not overlooking the challenges ahead of him.

“First I must win against Aung La N Sang, then I can focus on De Ridder and other belts. Becoming a champion in two weight classes, that’s my life goal now, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s move up a notch and if I’m meant to win it, then that’s the way it’s going to be,” he added.
