After knocking out TikTok star Megic Mike in 26 seconds at Allstars Fight Night 4, Jiffa Kundo could have called it a day and been done with fighting.
However, it looks like he will return to the cage sooner rather than later.
In a recent episode of Käftsmällspodden, the former ‘Love Island’ contestant calls out Stockholm fighter Viking Karlsson, who was last seen competing at Fight Club Rush 13.
“I’ve been looking at a bunch of names in Europe and saw a couple that were interesting actually. There are people like Viking Karlsson,” Kundo said.
Karlsson runs the ‘Fight Club Gullmarsplan’ gym in south Stockholm. As a junior boxer, he won a gold medal in the Swedish Championships and he also bagged a bronze medal in the Swedish Wrestling Championships back in the days.
In other words, Karlsson is definitely a seasoned fighter with quite a reputation.
“Viking Karlsson, I’m interested in him. I saw one of his fights and I thought ‘he moves well’. I think it would be an even matchup, he probably wants to fight standing and that’s perfect because I’ve got the grappling. And if he doesn’t have grappling, then I have the advantage,” Kundo said.
When Käftsmällspodden asked what it would take to have a rematch with Megic Mike, Jiffa Kundo claimed that he is up for another scrap with the TikToker calls him out.
“Not much! Just that he calls me out. Last time I challenged him. It would have been embarrassing to lose it,” Kundo says. “With the right circumstances we have a fight. In MMA, I want to make it as smooth for him as possible.”
