ONE Championship’s coming events in the famed Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand will air on Channel 7 HD, the country’s largest free-to-air television network.
The Singapore-based promotion revealed its new Thai broadcast deal at a press conference at Channel 7 HD’s Studio 8 in Bangkok this week, with a host of its top Thai fighters on location.
“It’s an honour to announce that Channel 7, Thailand’s largest broadcaster, and Tero Entertainment will be the new home for live broadcasts of ONE Championship in Thailand beginning in 2023,” ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong said.
“This collaboration will allow Thai fans to watch the world’s best martial arts action live in prime time, including the historic ONE Lumpinee events.”
ONE will debut at Lumpinee, Thailand’s most famous Muay Thai stadium, on January 20, with subsequent events slated for every Friday thereafter. The events will feature Muay Thai, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts contests.
The first ONE Lumpinee card will be headlined by a bantamweight Muay Thai title fight, with Thai champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao – one of the sport’s greatest fighters – defending his belt against Russia’s Alaverdi Ramazanov.
A catchweight clash between Seksan Or Kwanmuang and Tyson Harrison will also feature. Both men will be making their debuts in ONE.
