ONE Championship’s deal with Seven Network kicks off with ONE Friday Fights 9
ONE Championship’s newly inked broadcasting partnership with Australian giant Seven Network officially kicked off on March 17 with the airing of ONE Friday Fights 9.
Through the new exclusive agreement, all ONE events are to be aired live and for free on the 7plus streaming platform for martial arts fans in “The Land Down Under.”
The first offering shown through the partnership was ONE Friday Fights 9, which was broadcast from the famed Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
It was headlined by a world title fight between ONE lightweight Muay Thai champion Regian Eersel and Thai challenger Sinsamut Klinmee. The Surinamese-Dutch fighter retained the championship strap after knocking his opponent out with an impressive body shot late in the fourth round.
ONE Fight Night 9 also featured 10 other bouts, eight of which ended by way of finishes.
ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong lauded the partnership with Seven Network, the highest rated commercial television network in Australia, seeing it as a major component in the promotion’s push to be the true home of world-class martial arts action.
The Friday Fights series of ONE Championship, meanwhile, was launched in January and has already become an established weekly tradition in Bangkok.
