The 7 World Champions Slated For Action At ONE: LEGENDARY QUEST
ONE Championship’s roster of incredible martial artists will return to the Baoshan Arena in Shanghai, China this weekend, and among them are a slew of World Champions.
They are set to take center stage at ONE: LEGENDARY QUEST on Saturday, 15 June, with the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title on the line, and five ONE Super Series encounters providing all of the event’s World Champions.
These elite strikers come from the arts of Muay Thai and kickboxing, and are sure to deliver the kind of breathtaking action that has quickly made ONE’s all-striking branch the industry leader.
Here are all of the World Champions scheduled to compete in the Chinese metropolis.
Stamp Fairtex
Stamp Fairtex made history when she became the first two-sport ONE World Champion. The Thai striker added the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title to her ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Title when she defeated Janet “JT” Todd in February.
She puts her Muay Thai belt on the line for the first time against Alma Juniku in a bid to cement her position at the top, and she feels she can overwhelm the challenger with pressure to get the win.
Alma Juniku
Alma Juniku steps straight into a main event match-up in The Home Of Martial Arts, but the 18-year-old earned that honor with some incredible performances that led her to the WBC and IPCC Muay Thai World Titles.
The aggressive Aussie is keen to showcase her skills on the global stage, and says she will go toe-to-toe with her division’s leader and come out on top.
Zhang Chenglong
Top King Muay Thai World Champion “Muay Thai Boy” Zhang Chenglong has racked up back-to-back victories since entering the ONE Super Series ranks.
The Chinese striker faces Australia’s Tyler Hardcastle in a Muay Thai bantamweight contest this weekend, and he believes he will earn his first knockout victory in front of his countrymen.
Han Zi Hao
Zhang’s brother in arms Han Zi Hao is also a Top King Muay Thai World Champion. Most recently, he challenged Nong-O Gaiyanghadao for the inaugural ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship.
He believes an emphatic victory over Scotland’s Andrew “Maddog Fairtex” Miller will start him on his road back to title contention.
Tarik Khbabez
Tarik “The Tank” Khbabez has been one of the standout competitors since the inception of ONE Super Series, as he owns a perfect 3-0 slate in the organization’s all-striking branch.
The two-time SUPERKOMBAT Heavyweight World Champion hopes to earn a World Title opportunity with a win over hardened Brazilian warrior Anderson “Braddock” Silva on Saturday.
Rodlek PK.Saenchaimuaythaigym
Rodlek PK.Saenchaimuaythaigym is one of the most exciting Muay Thai athletes in the world, and he is also effective, as his WMC and Channel 7 Stadium Muay Thai World Titles show.
The Thai star’s main goal in entering ONE Super Series is to entertain the fans, and his battle with Liam Harrison should do exactly that.
Liam Harrison
Liam “Hitman” Harrison is the UK’s most successful Muay Thai athlete, with eight World Titles to his credit, including the WBC, WMC, and WPMF belts.
He knows Rodlek’s style will bring out the best in him, and he predicts fireworks in Shanghai.
