Khan, Tonon, Yamaguchi And More Added To ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON

Six more sensational bouts have been added to the blockbuster ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON bout card at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Two World Title contests will feature in the main and co-main events on 17 May following all four ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix quarter-final matches, but those encounters are just the tip of the iceberg.

In the first of the newly-announced bouts, former ONE Lightweight World Title contender Amir Khan will return to action when he welcomes undefeated Italian superstar Iurie Lapicus to ONE Championship.

Before that, three former ONE Strawweight World Champions will enter the Circle as they aim to get big wins on their way back to the gold.

Muay Thai legend “Kru Rong” Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke will face China’s Miao Li Tao, who will make his debut in the Home Of Martial Arts. Also, Alex “Little Rock” Silva of Brazil and Yoshitaka “Nobita” Naito of Japan will go head-to-head in a long-awaited rubber match.

Two rising stars of the featherweight division will clash in what could be one of the bouts of the night when grappling World Champion Garry “The Lion Killer” Tonon of the United States makes a quick turnaround to face Japan’s Yoshiki Nakahara.

Women’s atomweights will be represented on the undercard when former World Title challenger Mei “V.V.” Yamaguchi returns from a successful homecoming in Tokyo, Japan to face China’s Meng Bo in her first contest on the global stage for martial arts.

Finally, Singapore’s Rahul “The Kerala Krusher” Raju will take on the Philippines’ Richard “Notorious” Corminal in an exciting lightweight contest.
