The two Dutch athletes who will meet for ONE Super Series gold have been exceptional in The Home Of Martial Arts so far.

Holzken debuted in sensational style as he scored a second-round knockout of Cosmo “Good Boy” Alexandre in November.

The WFCA Kickboxing World Champion then outclassed Mustapha “Dynamite” Haida in a unanimous decision win in February.

Eersel also looked brilliant with a slick unanimous decision over Brad “Quake” Riddell in the first ever ONE Super Series match-up last April.

The Lion Fight and MFC World Champion returned to action this year with a fantastic KO of Anthony Njokuani in February.

Will Nieky "The Natural" Holzken's precision and power lead to another show-stopping KO against striking supernova Mustapha Haida on Friday?

This clash of elite strikers will precede the ONE Lightweight World Championship match between Shinya “Tobikan Judan” Aoki and Christian “The Warrior” Lee in the headline contest.

Further down the card, all four ONE Super Series Kickboxing Featherweight World Grand Prix quarter-finals will take place, featuring global superstars like “The Hero” Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex, Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan, and Andy “Souwer Power” Souwer.

Also, the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix semi-final between Ariel “Tarzan” Sexton and Saygid “Dagi” Guseyn Arslanaliev will decide that tournament’s first finalist, and fans will see the ONE debut of “Super” Sage Northcutt in a welterweight mixed martial arts match against Cosmo “Good Boy” Alexandre.
