Once again ONE Championship has lost a headliner to Covid-19. This time it is John Lineker who has tested positive according to reports in Brazil.
It means the bantamweight title fight with Bibiano Fernandes at ONE: ‘Bad Blood’ is off. The champion’s long wait for a fight looks set to continue even further.
The interim heavyweight title fight between Anatoly Malykhin and Kirill Grishenko will now serve as the headliner. The two were originally set to face off at ONE: ‘Only the Brave’ but the fight had to be postponed due to Covid-19 protocols.
Elsewhere Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke faces Danial Williams in a strawweight fight between two Muay Thai specialists. In the atomweight division Mei Yamaguchi has been matched with Jihin Radzuan, the former stepping in as a late replacement for Jenelyn Olsim.
