Stephen “The Sniper” Loman of Baguio City’s Team Lakay and Fabricio “Wonder Boy” Andrade of Brazil share a similar aim of getting a crack on the ONE Championship belt against each other.
A week ago, Andrade collected his fourth straight knockout victory at ONE 158 Tawanchai vs. Larsen by beating Kwon Won Il in just over a minute in the first round with a thunderous kick to the liver that instantly dropped the South Korean.
Although nothing is official as of yet, Andrade’s victory may have punched a ticket to a shot at the world title. But as he mentioned in his previous interviews, he wants to test his mettle against Loman for the title who has a similar mindset.
“In any case, from Lineker or from Andrade, I have a firm goal to bring the belt home to the Philippines,” Loman said.
“Surely Andrade is a tough one and if he will get the chance to fight Lineker before me and if he aces out Lineker, then I am all up to grab the belt from him, if given the opportunity,” Loman added.
“The Sniper” believes a fight against Andrade is inevitable and one that could come sooner rather than later. –ag
