ONE Fight Night 23 will see Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen collide for the inaugural ONE Women’s Strawweight Kickboxing World Title. But the remainder of the card is getting loaded by the day. ONE Championship has revealed three more bouts for the lineup that will help keep the high-paced action rolling on Friday, July 5.
Former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champions Petchtanong Petchfergus and Alaverdi Ramazanov collide in a pivotal match within the division. Ramazanov held the title in 2019 before dropping the gold to Capitan Petchyindee but defeated him in a non-title rematch in 2022. Two months after that showdown, Petchtanong grabbed the gold from Hiroki Akimoto, but he would be stripped of the title for a failed drug test.
Those two outstanding strikers will try to establish themselves as top threats to Jonathan Haggerty. Each man has much to prove and gets a chance to do so on a massive platform in U.S. primetime. The match could possibly steal the show.
Strawweight MMA contenders Hiroba Minowa and Jeremy Miado will look to end their losing streaks when they meet in Bangkok. Both men are on three-bout skids against the division’s elite. However, both athletes have flashed incredible talent that could lead them back to the top of the mountain.
Muay Thai was not to be left out of the equation. Bantamweights Shinji Suzuki and Stefan Korodi were added to the lineup to potentially elevate the winner to the next level of the division. In four-ounce gloves, anything can happen, and the match has the opportunity to set the tone for everything that will follow.
ONE Fight Night 23 airs live on Prime Video on Friday, July 5. The action will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime subscribers based in the U.S. and Canada.
