ONE Championship returns to Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, June 26, with a stacked card that promises high-level Muay Thai action and championship drama.
The event, dubbed The Inner Circle 20, features a series of blockbuster matchups, including a world title fight between two undefeated contenders, the conclusion of a heated Thai rivalry, and the return of one of the promotion’s biggest stars.
With championship gold on the line and several elite strikers in action, ONE Championship is set to deliver another memorable night inside one of combat sports’ most historic venues.
The main event will crown a new ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion as undefeated prospects Asadula Imangazaliev and Aslamjon Ortikov square off for the vacant title.
The matchup is unlike any title fight previously staged by ONE Championship. Both men earned their place through the organization’s Friday Fights series, and neither fighter has experienced defeat in their professional careers.
Imangazaliev enters the bout with a perfect 12-0 record, including nine stoppage victories. The 22-year-old Dagestani standout has quickly established himself as one of the most dangerous strikers in the division, compiling an 8-0 record under the ONE Championship banner.
Training with Team Mehdi Zatout and Team Chingiz Allazov, Imangazaliev has delivered several standout performances, including an impressive stoppage victory over former champion Nong-O Hama in his most recent outing.
That win appeared to secure him championship gold, but a missed weight limit prevented him from claiming the title. Now, he gets another opportunity to achieve his dream.
Standing across from him will be another undefeated force.Ortikov brings a flawless 24-0 record into the championship contest, with 13 victories coming by stoppage. The Uzbek striker has been dominant throughout his ONE Championship run, winning all 10 of his promotional appearances to earn a shot at the vacant belt.
A former eight-time Uzbekistan national champion and two-time Asian champion, Ortikov has steadily built momentum since arriving in Thailand. His latest victory came against Jordan Estupinan, whom he stopped in the second round at ONE Fight Night 43.
