Bibiano Fernandes to Defend Title as ONE Championship Moves into Myanmar

Bibiano Fernandes will make the third defense of his bantamweight title when he faces Finland’s Toni Tauru at ONE: Kingdom of Warriors. The event is set for July 18 and will take place at the Thuwunna National Indoor Stadium in Yangon.

It will be ONE Championship’s first ever card in Myanmar, a country that has undergone seismic changes recently. The Southeast Asian nation currently has the fourth fastest growing economy in the entire world and is developing at an unprecedented rate.

The main event sees Fernandes (17-3) look to extend his nine-fight winning streak against an opponent who has won his last ten.
