Kwon Won-il (29), a "Pretty Boy" who is active in the Asian mixed martial arts organization "ONE Cahmpionship," has a chance to win the championship.
ONE Championship announced on the 13th that Bantamweight champion Fabrizio Andrazi (27, Brazil) and official No. 3 Kwon Won-il will compete for the title at the "ONE 170" competition on January 24 next year.
This is the first rematch in 967 days since the competition between ONE champion and challenger in June 2022. Back then, Kwon was ranked second in the bantamweight division and Fabrizio Andrazi was ranked fourth. However, the result was that Kwon was knocked out after being kicked by his torso in the first minute and two seconds of the match. Andrazi defeated John Lineker of Brazil in the fourth round with a TKO in March 2023 to become the new champion.
After losing the match, Kwon won three consecutive knockouts, proving his competence as a challenger. He overwhelmed Mark Avelardo (33, New Zealand), the winner of the season 3 of the "ONE Warrior Series," and Artium Bellach (28, Russia), the fourth-ranked player in the One Championship. 온라인바카라
The performance was good enough to earn 50,000 U.S. dollars each for two consecutive matches. The official website of the One Championship introduced Kwon as "KO artist" who gained momentum by winning all matches after losing the first match against Fabrizio Andrazi.
Kwon said, "All of his nine wins at the One Championship are knockout wins. Sharp and clean boxing, overwhelming power and witty footwork bring fun and pleasure to watch," the One Championship said. "It is expected to be a thrilling match."
Kim is the only Korean to win the One Championship bantamweight championship. Kim was named the first champion in October 2012, but failed to defend himself in the first round in October 2013. If Kwon wins the title match, he will become the first Korean bantamweight champion in the One Championship in 11 years.
