Expect the upcoming ONE Championship card in Manila to be big… literally.
Brandon “The Truth” Vera will head to Manila this December as he just signed the fight agreement today for his next fight happening in Manila against bitter rival Chi Lewis-Parry.
In his Facebook page, the Filipino – American heavyweight posted a video entitled “Bout Agreement” showing him signing the contract of their fight and sending a message to his English rival.
Here’s a link to the video “The Truth” posted on Facebook. [LINK: Brandon Vera bout agreement]
“Chai iced tea? Lewis-Perry? Parry? Listen man, whatever the hell your name is. You asked for me? You got me. Now the contract right here in front of me, I’m signing this bad boy.”
“Feel bad for you son. Enjoy the time that you have. The show is on baby,” Vera said at the end of the video after signing the contract.
Both men have a history of bad blood towards each other, with Lewis-Parry had calling out Vera a couple of times, both in interviews and on social media that drew the ire of the former UFC standout.
“The Truth” returned the favor when he was in attendance and engaged in a shouting match with Lewis-Parry before his fight in Glory 21 last May in San Diego, California where the 6’9” former basketball player lost to Xavier Vigney via 2nd round KO.
According to a ONE championship official, they are expecting for “Chopper” Chi to sign to fight contract. In addition, the same source told Tiebreaker Times that the winner of the Vera – Lewis-Parry tussle will be crowned the first ever ONE heavyweight champion on December 11, 2015 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
