Another Malaysian, Keanu Subba, will also be in a featherweight battle against Yoo Chang Min of South Korea.
One Fight Night will feature two other exciting World Championship matches as Regian Eersel from Suriname looks to claim his second belt in a matchup against Sinsamut Klinmee of Thailand for the inaugural One Lightweight Muay Thai World Championship.
Meanwhile, Thailand’s Superlek Kiatmoo9 will take on compatriot Panpayak Jitmuangon in the Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix Finals.
