Denice Zamboanga and Julie Mezabarba are set to lock horns at ONE Fight Night 9 as per Combate. ONE Fight Night 9, which is set to happen in Bangkok on April 22, 2023, will be headlined by a super showdown between Nong O Gaiyanghadao and Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Muay Thai Bantamweight title.

While the official announcement is yet to be made from ONE Championship, the fight seems to make sense for both fighters.

In her last fight, she suffered a loss to Jenelyn Olsim and prior to this, she suffered a loss to Stamp Fairtex as well.
