The fight is not cancelled yet, it's just postponed. Now its on November 9th in Singapore
ONE: HEART OF THE LION event will be held in Singapore city on November 9th and is the biggest card ONE Championship has done to date. This event is poised to become the biggest night of martial arts in Singapore’s history.
Kaushik added that,
I don't know the reason for the last minute change, they asked me if I can fight the same opponent in Singapore? Its going to be a big event so I said yes.
What's next?
Amnuaysirichoke is an experienced veteran and he will be facing the Indian Wushu expert Himanshu Kaushik who has a demonstrated his high-level MMA skills in Super Fight League (SFL).
This will be a real test of his "Bangkok readiness" for the former Indian National Wushu Champion.
