Another title fight has been added to the ONE Fight Night 14 card. Danielle Kelly and Jessa Khan will rematch with the inaugural atomweight submission grappling title on the line.
Kelly and Khan first went head to head in 2021. The Cambodian/American claimed a decision win that day but it is her opponent who has gone on to enjoy success with ONE Championship.
Kelly has won three and drawn one of her four bouts for the promotion. Meanwhile Khan has yet to make her ONE Championship debut having seen several matches fall through.

Sweet science
The card will also feature a boxing match between two strawweights wearing MMA gloves. Nat Wondergirl will face Xiong Jing Nan with the exact rules of the bout yet to be revealed.
Xiong Jing Nan is the reigning strawweight champion in MMA. Meanwhile Wondergirl will be competing in that sport later this week when she faces Lisa Kyriacou at ONE Friday Fights 26.
Xiong has a background in boxing and was on the national team in her native China. Meanwhile Wondergirl’s roots are in Muay Thai although both have been more focused on MMA in recent years.

Kickboxing title
Jackie Buntan was recently in Hawaii celebrating her 26th birthday. But the holidays are over and the hard work has begun for the Fil-Am fighter who has a title fight coming up in September.
She will rematch Smilla Sundell at ONE Fight Night 14. The fight is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium on September 30th and will have the Swedish fighter’s strawweight Muay Thai title on the line.
The two first met at ONE 156 last year with Sundell dominating the five round fight to become the inaugural champion. Since then she has gone on to win one non title fight while Buntan has registered back to back victories.

Interim title
As previously announced Stamp Fairtex will face Seo Hee Ham at ONE Fight Night 14. The event is set for Singapore on September 30th and looks like it will be headlined by an interim atomweight title fight.
The belt has been introduced because regular champion Angela Lee is out of action and looks likely to retire, according to Chatri Sityodtong. She has not fought since the tragic death of her sister, Victoria Lee.
Stamp (10-2) earned her shot at the belt by stopping Alyse Anderson at ONE Fight Night 10. She has spent her entire career with the Singapore headquartered promotion, winning the atomweight Grand Prix in 2021.
Stamp has also held the atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai titles. She earned a title shot by winning that tournament but was submitted by Lee in the second round.

Multiple titles
Ham (26-8) is the former Deep-Jewels 105lbs champion, Road FC 105lbs champion and Rizin 108lbs champion. She has spent much of her career competing in Japan and beaten the likes of Ayaka Hamasaki, Miyuu Yamamoto and Mina Kurobe.
Adding the ONE Championship atomweight title to her collection would clearly make the Korean one of the most successful female fighters of all time. She has fought three times for the promotion and been the distance on every occasion, with two wins over Denice Zamboanga and one over Itsuki Hirata.
The win over the latter earned Ham her title shot. She would have fought more frequently but pulled out of the Grand Prix due to injury and then refused to fight Hirata when the Japanese fighter failed her hydration test.
