ONE Championship returns to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 17, with a Friday night doubleheader featuring 13 explosive contests across kickboxing, Muay Thai, and submission grappling.
The Inner Circle 22 and ONE Friday Fights 162 showcase world-class international competition, with a strawweight kickboxing World Title defense serving as the centerpiece of a card.
Chinese high-volume striker Zhang Peimian enters redemption territory in the main event when he challenges reigning ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan Di Bella.
Now 22 years old, Zhang was barely an adult when they first collided during Di Bella's ONE debut in 2022. The Chinese warrior was defeated that evening, a loss that has motivated him ever since. Now, matured and considerably more experienced at this level, Zhang arrives as a legitimate challenger carrying a solid 20-5 career record and impressive 6-1 ONE slate from his Shengli Fight Club base.
Di Bella, a 29-year-old Italian-Canadian southpaw, stands at the peak of his powers. The Team Di Bella Kickboxing star has orchestrated a sensational championship reign, notching massive victories.
His devastating 15-1 professional record and dominant 5-1 ONE slate establish him as the division's most feared competitor. Di Bella seeks to establish complete series dominance and prove their first encounter wasn't a close affair, but rather the beginning of his superiority.
Bantamweight kickboxing delivers excitement when recent setback victims Yuki Yoza and Ben Woolliss hunt redemption. The 28-year-old Japanese striker and 32-year-old English veteran each arrive desperate to reverse recent losses and reignite their trajectories with momentum-building victories.
Pound-for-pound submission grappling legend Helena Crevar brings an astonishing 355 career victories into the co-main event against Paige Ivette Clymer in openweight action.
