ONE Championship confirmed on Monday the resumption of its flagship event schedule beginning with One: No Surrender in Bangkok on July 31.
One: No Surrender marks the promotion’s expanded return to closed-door, audience-free live events. The first three major bouts feature an array of blockbuster One Super Series showdowns, while mixed martial arts bouts will be announced at a later date.
The event will be broadcast live across 150 countries.
“After returning with the successful One Hero Series 13 and 14 events in China last weekend, One Championship will now kick off our flagship event in Bangkok,” Chatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship, said.
“The world is suffering from the worst global crisis in a hundred years. Most national borders remain closed in Asia, and this has posed unique logistical and operational challenges,” Sityodtong said. “However, our superstar team at One Championship continues to work hard to deliver fans the authentic martial arts experiences they crave. Our athletes are ready to showcase their skills and tell their stories.”
One: No Surrender will see Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon staking his Muay world flyweight title against former flyweight kickboxing champion Petchdam “The Baby Shark” Petchyindee Academy.
In a battle for the Muay featherweight world championship, reigning champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee Academy is expected to face perhaps his biggest challenge yet in “The Boxing Computer” Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex.
Striking superstars Superbon Banchamek and “The Killer Kid” Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong will battle for the first time in the other fight.
