ONE Championship weigh-in results: Superbon not medically cleared yet for Prime Video 2, title fight in doubt
- Featherweight Muay Thai champ fails to hit the scale on Thursday, with co-main event against Tayfun Ozcan in danger of being scrapped
- Main event is official, after Angela Lee and Xiong Jingnan both make weight, but Jihin Radzuan will have to return on Friday
Saturday’s ONE Championship on Prime Video 2 card may be set to take a big hit, after Superbon did not give a sample or step on the scales at Thursday afternoon’s hydration tests and weigh-ins.
The champion’s featherweight Muay Thai title fight against Tayfun Ozcan – which was set to serve as the co-main event at Singapore Indoor Stadium – is now in danger of falling off the card, which will air in US prime time on Amazon’s streaming service on Friday night.
Superbon, who did not partake in interviews on Tuesday’s media day, has yet to be medically cleared for his fight.
The 32-year-old had already suffered a late change of opponent, after featherweight Grand Prix winner Chingiz Allazov withdrew injured this month.
Ozcan, who was originally set to fight Jamal Yusupov on the same card, passed his hydration test and made weight on Thursday.
Yusupov has also not been medically cleared. Both he and Superbon will have a final chance to weigh in and pass hydration in Friday’s window between 1pm and 4pm, pending medical clearance.
The main event for the card is official, however, after Angela Lee and Xiong Jingnan both passed hydration and made weight at the Parkroyal Hotel on Kitchener Road.
