After a successful event at Denver’s Ball Arena last year, the promotion has announced that ONE 173: Denver will take place on August 1, 2024. This marks ONE Championship’s second visit to the Mile High City, promising an action-packed night for combat sports fans.
The event will feature a headline bout between Stamp Fairtex and Denice Zamboanga, who will clash in a unification fight for the women’s atomweight MMA title. This matchup has been long-awaited, as the two were originally set to face off at ONE 167 before Stamp suffered a knee injury. Now, both fighters are ready to settle their rivalry in the ring.
Stamp Fairtex and Denice Zamboanga Shared Their Statements Amid Fight Announcement
Stamp Fairtex expressed her excitement about returning to the U.S. “I’m so happy to be competing in the U.S. again,” she said. “I was blown away by the support I received from my fans at ONE Fight Night 10, and I can’t wait to put on a show for them again this August.”
Denice Zamboanga, who currently holds the interim title, is equally motivated. “This fight is a dream come true for me,” she shared. “Representing the Philippines on such a grand stage fills me with pride. I’m ready to give my all and bring honor to my country.”
ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong also shared his enthusiasm for the event. “I am thrilled to announce ONE Championship’s return to Ball Arena with one of our biggest events of the year,” he said. “Stamp and Denice’s fight is just the beginning of what will be a stacked card.”
The announcement comes as fans eagerly await ONE 172 in Japan on March 23. With ONE 173 set to deliver more thrilling matchups, fans will have many things to look forward to in 2025
