Due to the rising COVID-19 cases in Singapore, ONE Championship has been forced to postpone its 10th-anniversary show ONE X to early 2022.
The development was announced by ONE Chairman Chatri Sityodtong, Wednesday evening.
“Due to the record high viral outbreak in Singapore, ONE: X will now take place early next year instead of December 5,” said Sityodtong. “The Singapore Government continues to do an extraordinary job in managing the situation for the country.
“I am full of gratitude and appreciation for its incredible leadership and excellence.”
ONE X was supposed to take place on December 5 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Announced bouts were a mixed martial arts-muay thai hybrid bout pitting Demetrious Johnson and Rodtang Jitmuangon, a ONE Bantamweight World title match between Bibiano Fernandes and John Lineker, and a ONE Featherweight World championship clash between Thanh Le and Gary Tonon.
Even with the delay of ONE X, Sityodtong said that ONE: Winter Warriors will still take place on December 17. ONE: NextGen will also be aired and taped on Friday.
“Please note that our regular shows for November and December are expected to continue as per usual,” he continued.
“It is a tricky time for everyone in Singapore, but I am confident that we will all get through these times by working together with compassion, resilience, creativity, and patience.”
