ONE Championship and Channel 7 have announced an exciting partnership with Tero Entertainment that will revolutionise the way Muay Thai is experienced.
Every Friday night starting on Jan 20, 2023, fans can watch the best local and international martial artists compete live from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
"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 Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong told a press conference last week.
"This collaboration will allow Thai fans to watch the world's best martial arts action live in prime time, including ONE Lumpinee events and our monthly ONE Fight Night cards.
"Muay Thai has been an integral part of my life, and I'm proud to share the beauty and skill of the sport to the world through ONE."
ONE Lumpinee will broadcast live to 150 countries from the Mecca of Muay Thai, showcasing its world-class production values and set design.
"ONE Lumpinee 1" will be headlined by Seksan Or Kwanmuang v Tyson Harrison in a catchweight Muay Thai bout.
The second event of the series will feature ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao v No.2-ranked Alaverdi Ramazanov.
In addition, Channel 7 will air ONE Fight Night series, starting with "ONE Fight Night 6" on Jan 14, a star-studded card featuring the headliner between ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn and No.1-ranked Chingiz Allazov.
Several of ONE's superstars from Thailand will compete at this event as well, including reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and two-sport world champion Stamp Fairtex.
The collaboration between ONE and Channel 7 is expected to redefine Muay Thai, delivering the sport to a new global audience.
Fans will enjoy spectacular bouts from some of the world's top martial artists every weekend.
"Thailand is rightfully proud of its Muay Thai heritage, and the world is now embracing the sport. ONE Lumpinee events will be watched by millions of people around the world, further growing the popularity of Thai martial arts and bringing pride to the country," said Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.
"I'm confident that ONE Lumpinee will be a great success and will be an unmissable attraction both for the Thai people and for tourists visiting Thailand."
